In June of 1778, the Continental Congress received the royal peace commissioners icily due to a deep mistrust and resentment towards British authority, stemming from years of conflict and oppression. The Congress viewed the commissioners' arrival as a tactic to undermine the American struggle for independence rather than a genuine offer for peace. Additionally, the recent defeat of British forces at Saratoga had strengthened American resolve, making Congress less inclined to negotiate under British terms. Overall, the commissioners were seen as symbols of a problematic past rather than potential allies for a peaceful future.
