Before the Declaration of Independence was written in 1776, the First Continental Congress convened in 1774. This gathering of colonial leaders aimed to address grievances against British rule and coordinate resistance to the Intolerable Acts. It laid the groundwork for the collective colonial response that ultimately led to the push for independence.
