After the First Continental Congress sent its delegates home in October of 1774, English Parliament discussed the American grievances and general situation, while life continued as normal in the colonies, with patriots continuing to agitate, loyalists continuing to support British rule, British troops continuing to occupy Boston, and most everyone likely wondering what the future might bring. In April of 1775, formal hostilities erupted between the colonies and the home-country, with the Second Continental Congress reconvening the next month -- May of 1775.

∙ 12y agoThey talked about military issue like how they were going to defeat the British. This was also when they appointed George Washington as leader of the continental army. It was a surprising move because Washington wasn't a very good leader in the French and Indian war and lost most of his battle but by appointing him the colonies could get the south involved because he was from Virginia. This made people like John Hancock and Sam Adams angry because they wanted to be leaders.
The second continental congress also talked about what they would do after the war. They talked about what they could do to make sure there wasn't anarchy after the British left.
