King George III received the Olive Branch Petition, which was sent by the Second Continental Congress in July 1775, with disdain. He viewed it as an insincere attempt to appease the colonies while they were in rebellion. Instead of addressing the petition, he declared the colonies in a state of rebellion and sought to suppress the uprising through military action. This response further escalated tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
