The First Continental Congress sent representatives to England in 1775 to show King George III that the colonies could unite for a common cause. They sought for England to return to the ways things were before 1763. King George III and Lord North treated the representatives of The First Continental Congress with total Contempt. The king sent representatives to tell them they represented an illegal organization and if they did not leave England immediately, he would hang them. They returned to the United States without seeing the king.
