The Olive Branch Petition: A Final Attempt at Reconciliation
The Olive Branch Petition: A Final Attempt at Reconciliation is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: The Declaration of Independence in History Alive! - The United States Through Industrialism.
Key Concepts
Even after the first shots were fired at Lexington and Concord, most American colonists were not ready to break away from Great Britain. The Second Continental Congress met in May 1775, hoping to find a peaceful end to the conflict.
As a final attempt at reconciliation, the delegates sent the Olive Branch Petition to King George III. This letter affirmed the colonists' loyalty to the king but blamed Parliament and his ministers for the crisis. It asked the king to protect their rights and restore harmony. This action shows that the idea of complete independence was still a radical one for most Americans.
