backed by real wealth
The Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in the spring of 1775. Hostilities between England and the colonies had already broken out--Bunker Hill, Ticonderoga, and Arnold's failed attempt to invade Canada. The Congress acted as the government for the colonies when it became obvious that war would result between England and the colonies. They appointed Washington as commander of the Continental Army and approved the writing of the Declaration of Independence.

i think (from what i know from my textbook), the second continental congress influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain because the congress started sending tons of stuff (like the Olive Branch Petition) to King George and also sending George a tougher statement called the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking Up Arms. but the effort to make peace failed. in fact, King George didn't even bother to answer the Olive Branch Petition. instead, he declared the colonies were "in open...rebellion." Parliament, meanwhile, voted to send 20,000 soldiers to the colonies to end the revolt. and all this influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain.
