The Second Continental Congress!!

May 1775...
This time, delegates from ALL thirteen colonies met in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) were they asumed total responsability for the war that was now occurring at Lexington and Concord, so they decided to send armed volunteers from the southern and middle colonies to aid the patriots at Boston.
Because of the sudden need for a more prepared army to fight the British, congress decided to create the first CONTINENTAL ARMY, that was comanded by George Washington, he had been a general in the French and Indian War ( on the British side).

July 1775...
After three months of bloodshed and battle, congress decided that it was enough, so they sent an Olive Branch Petition to the King of Britain, in hopes that he would cease the killings, but the king rejected the petition and sent more troops to the colonies. :( Bad Bad King!
