The correct response is: It failed to bring about peace and only angered King George III.
The Olive Branch Petition, sent in 1775 by the Continental Congress to King George III, was an attempt to reconcile with Britain and avoid war. However, the petition was rejected, and its failure contributed to escalating tensions, ultimately leading to the Revolutionary War.
