Explanation:
The Olive Branch Petition written by John Dickinson was drafted at a time when the colonists were seeking independence from the King. This was as a result of the sufferings they were made to undergo, stemming from the high taxes imposed on them to compensate the dwindling resources spent by the King in the war with France. They clearly wanted independence but without the consequence of war. They also were asserting loyalty to the King. This seemed like two requests that could be hardly granted at the same time.
King George III did not read the letters not to talk of granting the request for he already declared war on the colonists prior to the time when they tendered the letters.
