The many powerful people of the colonies wrote to talk against the formation of Congress. Letters would go into great depths about how Congress would make bad decisions, inefficiency and ultimately let down the American people.

The arrogance of Great Britain led to the rebellion of the colonists, which sparked the Revolutionary War through social, economic, and political actions.

Although any of the treaties passed Parliament, but one that did was called the Olive Branch Petition.

I believe that America should delay armed conflict until prepared for warfare because of America’s weakened economy and military. Jefferson’s Embargo Act of 1807 crippled the economy when it confined all US ships to harbor in an attempt to deny France and Great Britain agricultural and manufactured products.
