Before the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Second Continental Congress took several significant actions. They established the Continental Army, appointing George Washington as its commander, and began to organize the colonies' defenses against British forces. Additionally, the Congress issued the Olive Branch Petition in July 1775, seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict, while simultaneously preparing for potential military engagement as tensions escalated. These steps laid the groundwork for the colonies' push towards independence.
