In response to the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, the First Continental Congress convened in September 1774. Delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies gathered in Philadelphia to address colonial grievances and organize resistance against British rule. They sought to unify the colonies in opposition to the oppressive measures imposed by Britain, ultimately leading to increased tensions that contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.

The acts aimed to punish Massachusetts and suppress colonial resistance, ultimately escalating tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
