The Second Continental Congress sent the Olive Branch Petition to King George III in July 1775. This document expressed the colonists' loyalty to the Crown while seeking a peaceful resolution to the growing tensions between Great Britain and the American colonies. Despite its conciliatory tone, the petition was rejected by the king, who viewed the colonies' actions as rebellion. This rejection further escalated the conflict, ultimately leading to the American Revolutionary War.
