Why did the british call the second continental congress a den of traitors?

The British referred to the Second Continental Congress as a "den of traitors" because the assembly was seen as a rebellious group that challenged British authority and governance in the American colonies. They viewed the Congress's actions, such as drafting the Declaration of Independence and organizing the Continental Army, as acts of treason against the Crown. This perception reflected the growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, as the Congress sought to assert colonial rights and independence. The term underscored the British belief that the Congress was undermining their rule and inciting rebellion.
