The American colonists wanted to let King George III know that they were unhappy with ministerial policy and that they wanted to remain loyal to Great Britain, so they wrote the Olive Branch Petition. They thought the king did not know about the policies passed by Parliament which curtailed colonial rights.
When the king refused to look at the petition, the colonists realized that King George III was aware of and supported the policies. This gave John Adams and his group the opportunity to push for independence. It also led others to realize that the choice was between complete independence or complete submission to British rule, thus leading to the American Revolution.
