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 main purpose was to avoid going to war with the King. 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.
