The Appalachian's along with the pesky French kept English colonist confined to the East Coast. After the French & Indian Wars England tried to enforce the Proclamation of 1763( barring settlements West of the mountains) to keep colonist out and the indians off the warpath.
As we all know,..it had little effect. America was determined to expand its borders.

The mountains (Appalachians) weren't what kept English settlers near the Atlantic seaboard.
It was the process of clearing land (that was relatively heavily timbered) for cultivation, and the logistics of moving men and equipment into the interior in general. There simply aren't a lot of useful water routes to aid in exploration (and shipping); the rising elevation of the Appalachian chain didn't help, and neither did the heavy timber covering the landscape. The presence of several native cultures made westward progress slow as well - they tended to defend their territory against invasion.

Appalachians. They stretch from South Carolina all the way up to Maine.
