Petition of the American Colonies to the Crown 1774
A lengthy petition presented from colonists in New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolines, and others. They urge redress for taxation without consent, military occupation, admiralty powers, and parliamentary overreach, seeking liberty and peace under royal leadership. The document laments warlike measures and calls for cessation of troops, fair governance, and continued loyalty to the king.
