Yes. They sent the olive branch petition to King george the third. It was called the olive branch petion new peace. This is because in the Christian religion, the main religion of America and England, on Noah's ark a dove brought an olive branch to the ark to symbolize that the great flood, or in our case the massive turmoil of the unofficial battles betwen Britain and America, were over. King George III sent the leter back unopened. The Continental Congress epected this, they were just hoping that it didn't happen. They then came together in May, after the leter came back, to write the Declaration of Independence.

The members of the Second Continental Congress were a less cautious bunch than the delegates to the First CC. Militants had taken many of the conservative places. Fighting had started and the Second Continental Congress agreed to appoint George Washington as commander of the colonial troops around Boston. He would become Commander of all the continental forces. Not yet ready to declare independence, they issued a "Declaration of the Cause and Necessity of Taking up Arms" in 1775. By June, it appeared that independence was gaining popularity and Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduced the resolution for independence from Great Britain. The Congress appointed a committee to form the Declaration of Independence, with most of the work done by Thomas Jefferson. The Congress then adopted the Declaration, acted as the government for the colonies during the war, raised an army and navy, approved the creation of the Articles of Confederation, and negotiated the peace with Great Britain
