September 15: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Convention of delegates from twelve of the thirteen British North American colonies met at Carpenter’s Hall. Fifty six delegates total from twelve of the thirteen colonies; Georgia did not send a delegation.
Called in response to the (earlier in 1774) British Coercive Acts; called the Intolerable Acts by the colonists.
The denouement of the Congress was an appeal by the Congress to the (British) Crown to rescind the Coercive Acts. The Crown did not budge.
