First Continental Congress

The First Continental Congress was a meeting held in 1774 where representatives from 12 of the 13 American colonies gathered in response to British actions like taxes and trade restrictions. Their goal was to discuss ways to address these issues and consider how to protect their rights. They debated, coordinated policies, and agreed to boycott British goods. This meeting marked a united step toward colonial cooperation, setting the stage for eventual independence by fostering collaboration and resistance against British authority.
