In his speech, Henry asserts that Great Britain has repeatedly ignored peaceful petitions and diplomatic efforts, highlighting their oppressive actions against the colonists. He points to the increased military presence and harsh measures taken against dissenters as evidence of Britain's unwillingness to engage in dialogue. Henry emphasizes that the past failures of petitions demonstrate that further attempts will be futile, urging the colonists to prepare for resistance rather than continued appeals.
The First Continental Congress offered a peaceful solution to the problem with Britain. It was held in 1774 in Philadelphia and attended by delegates from the American colonies. The Congress proposed a boycott of British goods and urged peaceful negotiations with Britain to address grievances and prevent further conflict.

New England
