The First Continental Congress
met in Philadelphia from September 5, 1774 to October 26, 1774. At this
congressional meeting, the
delegates wrote a list of complaints against Parliament for
the unfair treatment of the colonies. They voted to stop
trading with the British until the King repealed the
Intolerable Acts. The colonists did not want to break away
from Great Britain at this meeting. They just wanted to be
treated fairly and to have the rights they felt they deserved. |
