The American delegates pleaded with George III to attempt peaceful resolution and declared their loyalty to the Crown. The King refused to receive this petition and instead declared the colonies to be in a state of rebellion in August. Insult turned to injury when George ordered the hiring of HESSIAN mercenaries to bring the colonists under control. Americans now felt less and less like their English brethren. How could their fellow citizens order a band of ruthless, foreign goons? The moderate voice in the Continental Congress was dealt a serious blow.

<span>As the seasons changed and hostilities continued, cries for independence grew stronger. The men in Philadelphia were now wanted for treason.

They continued to govern and hope against hope that all would end well.</span>

Elanso [62]

The Big Stick Diplomacy was implemented by Theodore Roosevelt and was a policy of intervenience in Latin American affairs because in the American view those countries could not keep their affairs in order.

The Dollar Diplomacy adopted by President Taft that promoted the American business interests abroad by replacing military alliances with economic ties, increasing American influences and securing lasting peace.

Both Diplomacies had problems but historians say that Roosevelt’s Big Stick was more successful overall because it resulted in more benefits than failures. The other two diplomacies increased hostility in Latin America and in Asia that eventually influenced the Alliances in WWI.
