When the Second Continental Congress met in May of 1775, it primarily accomplished the following: it petitioned King George III again and created the Continental Army.

While there were discussions and movements towards independence, the Congress's initial actions included attempting to reconcile with Britain through petitions while also taking practical steps for defense, such as establishing the Continental Army with George Washington as its commander. The formal declaration of independence would come later, in July 1776.
