The First Continental Congress was held on September 5, 1774 at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Representatives from each of the colonies, except for Georgia gathered to discuss their response to the British "Intolerable Acts." They also discussed their relationship with Britain and how to assert their rights with the British government.

The Congress decided to boycott British goods and passed resolutions asserting colonial rights. They agreed to meet again in May 1775, if the British did not change their policies.

In response to this, the King and Lord North of England blocked colony access to the North Atlantic fishing area in an attempt to punish and weaken the colonies
