Directions: Put yourself in the shoes (perspective) of the colonists following the constant taxation and loss of life in the Boston Massacre and Battles of Lexington/Concord. In a ‘last ditch effort’ and attempt at peace, you, and majority of the Continental Congress draft this Olive Branch Petition to request King George ‘intervene’ and cease (stop the) violence. Draft your request in the scroll below in 1-2 paragraphs. Feel free to make this your own, but consider the constant taxations and bloodshed falling at the hands of the colonists in the moment.
