Why was the first Continental congress formed in Philadelphia?

The First Continental Congress was called and convenied in 1774 to redress the grievances of the American colonists against both the alarming reduction in colonists' rights as well as the drastic increases in taxes being imposed on the colonists by the British government. Their grievances were with not only the King of England, King George III, but with the British Parliament as well, as both of these divisions of the English government refused to listen to or redress the concerns of the American colonists. The members of the First Continental Congress were official deligates of each of the American colonies, chosen and sent by the elected legislatures of each American colony; each deligate present acted in an official capacity on behalf of their respective colony with power and authority granted to them of their respective colony to act and cast votes on behalf of the colony they represented. The deligates of the First Continental Congress did not plan to nor did they propose independence from England at this time in 1774; they simply needed to collectively define their grievances against England and collectively ask for redress from the English government. Although the Congress patiently waited for a response, their official petition to England went ignored, even though more than a full year was given for rebuttal. This lack of response led to the calling of another session of the Congress, named the Second Continental Congress. The idea of and the call for independence from England did not come until the convening of this Second Continental Congress, held in 1776 (and culminating in the Declaration of Independence on July 4). It is interesting to note that invitations to send deligates to the Continental Congresses were sent by the colonies of Virginia and Massachussetts to all of the original American colonies, including not only the 13 colonies who responded with delegates, but to Georgia, East Florida, West Florida, Quebec, and Nova Scotia as well. Think about it...Canada could have been part of the United States of America, but refused to rebel against King George!! They had their own reasons for staying loyal to the crown, but that is a different story for a different question.

The southern colonies were populated because people in England heard of the riches in America. They soon learned how well cash crops grew such as indigo, tabacco, and cotton.
