Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
John Adams wrote to a friend during stating the petition would serve no purpose. War was coming and the colonists should have already developed an army to fight.
This letter was not received and the petition never made it to the king. Therefore the king granted Adams to push for independence and refused the petition.
At the end of the day the colonist realized they only had two choices:
Complete Independence or Complete British Rule
So to answer your question the Olive Branch Petition reflected the attitudes of many colonist 'negetivly' because they were going to be under complete control no matter what they faught for.
Hope this helps.
