It was called the Olive Branch Petition.
The Second Continental Congress sent the Olive Branch Petition to King George III in July 1775. This document expressed the colonists' desire for peace and a resolution to their grievances, affirming loyalty to the Crown while seeking to avoid further conflict. However, the petition was rejected by the King, who viewed it as an act of rebellion. Subsequently, the Congress moved towards declaring independence from Britain.
The purpose of the petition sent to King George III by the First Continental Congress was to declare their right to approve laws passed by Parliament on behalf of the colonies.
The Quakers in Pennsylvania refused to support any declaration of independence unless the Congress first attempted to resolve the situation peacefully. The Quakers were very influential and managed to get a majority of Congress to agree to send a polite note pleading for peace and negotiation. (The King's response was to angrily denounce the Congress and call for execution of anyone associated with the independence movement.) The King definitely did not want the Olive Branch. The Olive Branch Petition did apparently have an influence on some in Parliament, who continued to make pleas to the King for the next 5 years while the war raged on.
