The Continental Association was created by the First Continental Congress in response to the passage of the Coercive (or Intolerable) Acts by the British government over the American colonies. In essence, the Association was a group of representatives which came together in Philadelphia with the intent on deciding which of the Coercive Acts they wanted to repeal. In the end they adopted three actions which went against the Acts.
- The first action called for the non-importation of British goods after December 1st, 1774.
- The second was for the non-consumption of British products after March 1st, 1775.
- And the third called for the non-exportation of American goods to Britain and the British West Indies after September 10th, 1775.
Despite the challenges these adaptations posed for the Colonists, they were carefully designed to appeal to different groups and regions across the American colonies.
