The First Congress started a boycott of British goods and a Second Continental Congress. The Second Continental Congress created the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation.
The Second Continental Congress was it's name.
The Coercive Acts were officially called the Restraining Acts, but Americans called them the Intolerable Acts. They included the Boston Port Act (June 1, 1774), the Quartering Act (June 2, 1774), the Administration of Justice Act (May 20, 1774), and the Massachusetts Government Act (May 20, 1774). These acts were a response to the Boston Tea Party and were an attempt to restore order in the colonies. They were instrumental in leading the colonies on the path to war. Massachusetts gained sympathy from other colonies. The First Continental Congress was called, and met in Philadelphia in September, 1774. And many of the more moderate colonists began to move toward more radical views, surprised over the harsh response of the British government to the actions of the colonists.
The Declaration of Independence is the usual name of a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
One significant accomplishment of the First Continental Congress was an agreement made among the colonies to boycott British trade. Some important individuals who were involved were John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Henry, and Thomas Jefferson.
"The Second Continental Congress succeeded the First Continental Congress, which met briefly during 1774, also in Philadelphia. The second Congress managed the colonial war effort, and moved slowly towards independence, adopting the United States Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776."
