The representatives of the First Continental Congress gathered to discuss their response to the British "Intolerable Acts." These laws were passed to punish the colonies for the Boston Tea Party.
All thirteen colonies sent representatives to the Second Continental Congress. The Colony of New Jersey recalled their representatives and so they were not represented for a significant amount of time in 1776. However, their representatives made it to the Congress in time to vote for American Independence on July 2nd and the Declaration of Independence on July 4.
The Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army.
