Continental Congress


The Continental Congress was the federal legislature of the Thirteen
Colonies and later of the United States from 1774 to 1789, a period that
included the American Revolutionary War and the Articles of Confederation.
There were two Continental Congresses.

The First Continental Congress

The First Continental Congress lasted only from September 5, 1774, to
October 26, 1774, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Second Continental Congress

The Second Continental Congress ran from May 10, 1775, to March 2, 1789, but
met in different places at different times. (See the external link below for
the daily records of its proceedings.)

In 1775 the Congress began to support actual rebellion. They created the
Continental Army and issued currency (the Continental Dollar).
