The Iroquios people, who originally wanted to remain neutral, eventually sided with the English. The English won the war and they signed the "Peace of Paris" treaty with the French in 1763.

At this time, most Americans were not looking for independence, but simply wanted restoration of the rights that they had before the Seven Years' War. The delegates called for an immediate repeal of the Intolerable Acts and for colonists to boycott British goods and begin military preparations as a form of resistance. They also asked the king to restore colonial rights. Lastly, they promised to meet again the next year if their rights were not recognized. Key delegates were Patrick Henry, Sam Adams, and John Adams of the radical group, George Washington of the moderate group, and John Jay of the conservative group.

Many New England delegates supported full independence, while middle colonies wanted to resolve the conflict and negotiate with Great Britain. A compromise was reached: they issued the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities for Taking Up Arms, which asked colonies to provide troops, appointed Washington to lead and train the troops, and formed navy and marine forces. Meanwhile, they also sent an "Olive Branch Petition" to King George III, which assured their loyalty to the King and asked him to negotiate with Parliament for colonial rights. The king dismissed this attempt at peace, and Parliament issued the Prohibitory Act, which declared the colonies were in rebellion and forbade all trade and shipping between Britain and the colonies.]]> 2021-05-16 02:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/22teresac/c6avlbnrujz4iuu1/wish/1527707626 22teresac https://padlet.com/22teresac/c6avlbnrujz4iuu1/wish/1527708251 A pamphlet which strongly urged the colonies to break free from Britain and to seize its independence, since it did not make sense for colonies to be ruled from a country so far away and one whose government was corrupt and unreasonable.

It established a single congress with one rep from each state. The congress had the power to wage war, make treaties, send diplomatic reps, and borrow money, but not to regulate commerce or collect taxes, which proved to be a severe detriment to the Articles, as the states generally were unwilling to provide funds for the nation as a whole.
