Continental Congress issue the Olive Branch Petition wanted to negotiate for protection of American rights peacefully
Explanation:
When the Second Continental Congress met in the spring of May 10, 1775, the colonists' struggle with the British army had already begun.
Members of Congress decided last time to try to solve the problem peacefully: they sent the King an "Olive Branch Petition", which wanted to express hope for the reunification of the colonies and Great Britain.
When that petition was rejected, the last reasons of allegiance disappeared to the British crown.
