Question

The main purpose of the Olive Branch Petition was to

(A) create peace between western settlers and Native American tribes

(B) end the war between the British and French in the Ohio River Valley

(C) avoid the escalation of violence between Britain and the colonies

(D) reconcile Britain and the colonies after the Boston Massacre

(E) reconcile northern and southern states prior to the Civil War

Answer 1

I would say (d) because the colonist and the British were the ones fighting so they wanted peace between the two of them. And the Boston massacre was a very serious conflict fight and was sure to created arguments between one another. And the two ending up in conflict was the colonists and the British.
