What did the second continental congress vote on?<br> Someone help please:(
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The First Continental Congress organized a boycott of British goods. The Second Continental Congress declared independence from Britain.

Explanation:

The Continental Congress was called following the passage of the Intolerable Acts. These were laws Britain passed to assert control over their American colonies after the Boston Tea Party. Delegates were chosen by their respective colony's congress.

The First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in 1774. They decided to have "Committees of Safety" enforce a boycott of British goods. They also agreed to meet again in 1775 to consider changes in their response to Britain, and, somewhat secretly, agreed that each colony should begin preparing a militia in case of war.

Between the two Congresses, Britain refused to repeal the Intolerable Acts, even though the boycott was extremely effective. In April of 1775, British troops were sent to capture weapons being stockpiled in Lexington, Massachusetts. The Patriots got word of the troop movements (from Paul Revere's famous ride) and organized to meet them. British and Patriot troops battled in Lexington and nearby Concord (I won't go into the details of the battle here).

The Second Continental Congress met for the first time in May 1775, right after the battle at Lexington and Concord. Because of this, the Congress assumed management of the war. For the next two years, they became a makeshift government for the new United States. Here's the most important things they did:

1. They appointed George Washington as the general of a "Continental Army" and allowed taxes to help pay for the army.

2. They began sending diplomats to France to seek aid in their war effort.

3. They sent an "Olive Branch Petition" (peace offer) to Britain (designed to be rejected), that was rejected, inspiring colonial citizens to join the Patriot cause.

4. The signed the Declaration of Independence, thought this wasn't until July of 1776, more than two years after the war had started.

1. Why did the American forces have an advantage?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

On the other hand, the Americans had many intangible advantages.

The British fought a war far from home. Military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations. The British had an extremely difficult objective. They had to persuade the Americans to give up their claims of independence. As long as the war continued, the colonists' claim continued to gain validity. The geographic vastness of the colonies proved a hindrance to the British effort. Despite occupying every major city, the British remained as at a disadvantage.

Americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. This cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence. American military and political leaders were inexperienced, but proved surprisingly competent.

The war was expensive and the British population debated its necessity. In Parliament, there were many American sympathizers. Finally, the alliance with the French gave Americans courage and a tangible threat that tipped the scales in America's favor.
