The Olive Branch Petition was sent by the Continental Congress to try to assure the King that the Colonists were not wanting independence. One of the aspects of this was that they expressed their desire for free trade and tax rates similar to those in Great Britain. George III ignored the request, which increased colonists' understanding that independence was truly the only remaining option they had left.
