The 'Olive Branch Petition' was adopted by the Continental Congress 5 July 1775 as a last-gasp attempt to avoid war with Britain. Written by John Dickenson the Petition phrased their discontent in a manner that attempted to explain to King George 111 that the American colonists were unhappy with ministerial policy, not his own. They concluded their plea with a final statement of fidelity to the crown. However King George refused to accept and/or read the Petition, so it is unknown whether or it would have defused the upcoming hostilities.

How might your life be different had George 3 accepted the olive branch petition?

The American Revolutionary War could have been averted, leading to a more unified British Empire. Colonists may have experienced greater autonomy and representation, potentially delaying or altering the push for independence.
