Although slavery led to distorted levels of contact between blacks and whites before the Civil War there was more contact than occurred during the Jim Crow period of the south which used racially oppressive laws to segregate races in the South.
<span>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.</span>
