The last attempt for peace made by the Second Continental Congress was called the "Olive Branch Petition," submitted in July 1775. It was a letter to King George III expressing the colonists' desire for reconciliation and an end to hostilities while asserting their loyalty to the Crown. However, the petition was rejected, and the king declared the colonies in rebellion, escalating tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolutionary War.
The Second Continental Congress from the Continental Army decided to send the Olive Branch Petition to King George III as a last attempt to resolve the conflicts peacefully and avoid an all-out war with Britain. They hoped that the petition would demonstrate their loyalty to the king and their desire for a peaceful resolution. However, the king rejected the petition, which ultimately led to the formal declaration of independence and the American Revolutionary War.
