| Aanvullende informatie |
The Olive Branch Petition of July 1775 was the Second Continental Congress's last formal attempt to avoid open war — a direct appeal to George III asking him to intervene against Parliament's colonial policies. He refused to read it. Parliament had already declared Massachusetts in rebellion before the petition even arrived in London, and the King formally proclaimed the colonies in a state of rebellion in August 1775, rendering the document moot before most colonists knew it had failed.
