No. According to the German History Museum and the Smithsonian Insitutes, as well as the Library of Congress, this is a ninetenth legend. There was NEVER a vote for selecting German or English as a national language for the United States. In fact, our consititution, and all preambles, are conspicuously absent of any linguistic nationalism.

i think (from what i know from my textbook), the second continental congress influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain because the congress started sending tons of stuff (like the Olive Branch Petition) to King George and also sending George a tougher statement called the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking Up Arms. but the effort to make peace failed. in fact, King George didn't even bother to answer the Olive Branch Petition. instead, he declared the colonies were "in open...rebellion." Parliament, meanwhile, voted to send 20,000 soldiers to the colonies to end the revolt. and all this influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain.
