the letter of peace that was wrote by the first continental congress
Some called for war others for peace. Once again they compromised. Although the congress did not openly revolt delegates showed their growing dissatisfaction.
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.
The colonists' tried to restore peace with the Olive Branch Petition but the king rejected the petition and that's when the colonists' got together for the First Continental Congress.
