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.
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. This gathering marked a crucial step towards the eventual push for independence from Britain.

The actions that the Second Continental Congress took to begin governing the colonies were authorizing a currency with a post office, creating committees to handle relations with Native Americans and foreign countries, and it created the continental army.
Some called for war others for peace. Once again they compromised. Although the congress did not openly revolt delegates showed their growing dissatisfaction.

Second Continental Congress
The most important action taken by the Continental Congress to protest the Intolerable Acts was the formation of the First Continental Congress in 1774. During this meeting, delegates from twelve out of the thirteen colonies came together to discuss their grievances and plan a unified response to the British government. It was during this congress that agreements were made to boycott British goods, support non-importation agreements, and prepare militias for potential conflict with British forces.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the Civil War, but I'll answer it anyway. I'd say that the Declaration of Independence definitely was an action that the Continental Congress took to pursue war.
