As the American Revolution is about to begin, the Continental Congress formed to decide what to do about King George's repeated refusal to listen to them and his continuing moves to make things harder. The continentl congress was split as far as what to do about the British. Some wanted things to remain peacefully and others wanted to go to war and solve the issue with violence. It was decided that a compromise would be reached in which the Continental Congress would continue to seek peace, yet prepare for war. For this blog post, I want you to explain to me what attempts the Continental Congress made to achieve a peaceful solution and what the Continental Congress did to move towards war. ***You should have 4 attempts at Peace and 4 examples of movement toward War.***
Number each example in your lists.
Points: 20
