• On 25 October in the year '1774', the 'First Continental Congress' had sent a petition to King George III informing the King that if the acts of oppression by the 'British Parliament' were not forced upon the 'American colonies', the American people would have stood behind the British rule. The Petition to the King called for 'repeal of the Intolerable Acts'.
