Explanation:

The Continental Congress was an assembly of delegates from the Thirteen English Colonies of eastern North America, which would form the United States, during its War of Independence from England.

The Congress met three times: The first was to discuss the blockade of ships passing to the port of Massachusetts, which was implemented by the British Government, in addition to a discussion regarding the Intolerable Laws, which had helped Benjamin Franklin to convince to the colonies to join.

Although at the beginning the representatives of each colony did not agree on breaking ties with the king, for the second meeting, which took place on July 2, 1776, all agreed on declaring American independence and voted unanimously for her. Two days later they signed the declaration of independence and established themselves as a new country by the name of the United States of America. The declaration also established the Continental Army and commanded George Washington to lead the troops. He also declared friendship with France, declared war against England, and founded the war with paper money.

The third meeting became known as the Confederation Congress.
