What does the difference in the number of colonies that sent delegates to the stamp act congress versus the first continental congress indicate about what was happening in the colonies?
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.
