All of the following characterize the First Continental Congress except:

Question

George Washington was chosen as commander-in-chief.
Georgia did not attend the Convention.
It sent resolutions to King George and Parliament.

Answer 1

The statement that characterizes the First Continental Congress incorrectly is:

George Washington was chosen as commander-in-chief.

This is because the First Continental Congress did not appoint George Washington as commander-in-chief; that event occurred later, during the Second Continental Congress in 1775. The other two statements regarding Georgia's absence and the sending of resolutions to King George and Parliament are accurate descriptions of the First Continental Congress.
