What was formed after the Philadelphia meeting in 1774?

On September 15, 1774, fifty-five Colonial delegates convened the First Continental Congress at Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia. Twelve of the thirteen colonies were represented. Georgia, which was facing attacks from the Native American Creek Nation, needed British troops to help defend their territory and decided not to participate for fear of losing military support.

Although angered by the closing of Boston Harbor following the Boston Tea Party, the First Congress didn't advocate independence, but sought to address the "intolerable acts" the British Parliament inflicted on the Colonies. Congress had but three objectives:

  1. To write a statement of colonial rights;
  2. To identify specific Parliamentary violations of those rights; and
  3. To construct a plan to convince the British to restore their rights.

Part of the leverage used against the British was a boycott of their imports. In response, the British Navy blocked the Colonies' access to the North Atlantic Fishing Area.

The Second Continental Congress convened on May 10, 1775, when the delegates voted for a resolution that was realized in Jefferson's Declaration of Independence.
