In the fall of 1774, delegates from 12 of the 13 colonies met in Philadelphia to discuss their response to Britain’s Intolerable Acts.

Also known as the Coercive Acts, this series of laws was put into place after the Boston Tea Party. Meant to show Britain’s power over the colonies, the Acts closed Boston’s port and revoked the Massachusetts Charter. The colonies showed support for Massachusetts and called for a Continental Congress.

Convening on September 5, 1774, delegates to the First Continental Congress found themselves in two factions. One group wanted to adopt policies that would force Parliament to repeal the Intolerable Acts. The other group wanted to issue a stronger statement announcing the rights and liberties of the Colonies. After weeks of debate, a decision was reached. They formed a Continental Association and created the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. The congress stated that if the Intolerable Acts were not revoked by December 1, the colonies would boycott British goods. They also planned to embargo exports in September 1775.
