The First Continental Congress convened on September 5, 1774, in Philadelphia, bringing together delegates from twelve of the thirteen American colonies (excluding Georgia) to address colonial grievances against British rule. The Congress aimed to unify the colonies in response to the Intolerable Acts and to formulate a collective action plan. It resulted in the adoption of the Continental Association, which called for a boycott of British goods and established a framework for colonial cooperation.

The colonial delegates met at the First Continental Congress in 1774 primarily to address their grievances against British rule, particularly in response to the Intolerable Acts.
