Question

Was the First Continental Congress a call for independence?


False


True

Answer 1

False. The First Continental Congress, which met in 1774, was not a call for independence. Instead, it was primarily focused on addressing colonial grievances against British policies and seeking redress of those issues. The Congress aimed to unite the colonies in opposing British actions, particularly the Intolerable Acts, but did not advocate for independence at that time. The push for independence came later, in the Second Continental Congress and specifically with the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
