5 lugl 1775 anni - Olive Branch Petition
Descrizione:
The Olive Branch Petition, sent by the Second Continental Congress to King George III, was a final attempt to avoid a full-scale war between Britain and the American colonies. Despite expressing loyalty to the crown and requesting a cessation of hostilities, the petition was rejected by the king, who instead declared the colonies in a state of rebellion, escalating the move towards independence.
