The Second Continental Congress was convened in 1775 in response to the escalating tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain following the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The First Continental Congress had met the previous year to address grievances against British policies, but the situation had deteriorated, leading to the need for a second meeting. Delegates from the colonies gathered to discuss further responses to British aggression and ultimately declared independence with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Parliament, meanwhile, voted to send 20,000 soldiers to the colonies to end the revolt. and all this influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain.
