The difference in the number of colonies that sent delegates to the Stamp Act Congress (nine colonies) versus the First Continental Congress (twelve colonies) indicates a growing sense of unity and urgency among the colonies regarding British policies. The Stamp Act Congress, held in 1765, was primarily a response to the specific imposition of the Stamp Act and reflected a more limited collaboration among the colonies. In contrast, the First Continental Congress in 1774 represented a broader coalition, as more colonies recognized the need for collective action against British oppression, signaling an escalation in resistance and a desire for coordinated action. This shift illustrates the increasing seriousness of colonial grievances and the move toward a more unified front against British rule.
