What colonies wanted peace and which wanted war at second continental congress?

At the Second Continental Congress in 1775, the colonies were divided in their approaches to the conflict with Britain. The New England colonies, particularly Massachusetts, leaned towards war, driven by their experiences with British troops and a desire for independence. In contrast, the Middle and Southern colonies, including Pennsylvania and Virginia, had factions that preferred reconciliation and sought peaceful solutions, advocating for the Olive Branch Petition as a means to avoid further conflict. Ultimately, the growing tensions and lack of resolution led to a stronger push for war among the delegates.
