The Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence because they wanted colonists to be on the side of America. They also wanted encourage foreign nations to help them gain their independence from Britain.

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.

Financial Burdens'Paying for the war was a difficult task. Congress had limited resources. With no power to tax, Congress had to plead with the states for money. However, the states had little money themselves.To pay and supply troop, Congress printed continentals, paper money. But the more money Congress printed, the less the money was worth. By the end of the war, paper money had lost almost all its value. Something worthless was said to be "not worth a continental."'
The main issue was that some delegates wanted a peaceful way to end the problems while others wanted a violent way to end them, like war. They came to a conclusion that they would make up a continental army and prepared for war.
