= First Continental Congress =



All 12 delegates met in Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26,1774. All colonies except Georgia sent delegates to attend. All of the delegates united and set aside their differences to show to Great Britian that they have the right to control the colonies. The Pennsylvania and New York delegates were sent to find a solution with Great Britian. All the others fought for colonial rights. On October 20,1774, they established the Assosiation. This organization agreed not to trade with Great Britain neither import or export good with Great Britain.
