What did general Howe offer to the Americans after the victories in New York?

After his victories in New York, General William Howe offered the Americans the opportunity to end the conflict and avoid further bloodshed by acknowledging British authority and maintaining their rights as subjects. He proposed a reconciliation plan that included the promise of a degree of self-governance and the protection of their property. However, this offer was not well-received, as many American leaders were committed to independence and viewed it as insufficient. Ultimately, Howe's overtures did little to quell the Revolutionary fervor among the colonists.
