8 0

During the 1770's, the second continental congress sent the Olive Branch Petition to King George III requesting to settle their differences peacefully without going to war. King George III rejects the petition outright. He claims the colonies are in open rebellion and if they continue in there rebellion they will all be put to death as traitors. The significance is that this is the point of no return and what seals the fate of the colonies. They now know that this means war with England and if they loose they will be executed.
