In the opening days of the Second Continental Congress, most congressional delegates favored trying to reconcile with Great Britain. The Congress approved two documents in July, 1775. The first, titled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms," laid out the reasons Congress felt it necessary to defend colonial freedoms with force. The second, the "Olive Branch Petition," was sent to King George III, in hopes that he would intervene between the colonies and the British Parliament.
