The Olive Branch Petition was a document written on behalf of the colonists in America, adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 5, 1775, and directed to the British King George, whose <u>main purpose was to avoid going to war with the King</u>. For that end, the document peacefully explains the reasons why the colonists had been rebelling to the British government, whose imposition of taxes was perceived to be abusive and it also asserts the colonist's rights as British citizens while affirming their loyalty to the British crown.

xenn [34]

<span> In the last quarter of the 19th century, all four items were sources of energy. Kerosene was commonly used for lighting, electricity was beginning to replace gas lighting and steam was used to power boats, trains, and certain kinds of industrial machinery. Gasoline was the primary fuel of the automobile, or "horseless carriage," which appeared in the 1890's. Of these four, however, steam was introduce the earliest. The concept of the steam engine goes back to ancient times. However, the steam engine was really introduced as a common source of energy early in the 18th Century. So while kerosene, gasoline, and electricity as an energy source were all developments of the 19th century, Steam power is at least a century (and maybe more) older. </span>

<h3>What effects did the Cuban Missile Crisis have on relatives who grew up during the Cold War?</h3>

However, the non-violent conflict and nuclear arms race were far from done. In actuality, the crisis' other lasting effect was to persuade the Soviet Union to increase

its investment in an intercontinental ballistic missile arsenal that could reach the United States from Soviet soil.
