The Second Continental Congress succeeded the First Continental Congress, which met briefly during 1774, also in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second Congress managed the colonial war effort, and moved slowly towards independence, adopting the United States Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. By raising armies, directing strategy, appointing diplomats, and making formal treaties, the Congress acted as the de facto national government of what became the United States.[1] With the ratification of the Articles of Confederation in 1781, the Congress became known as the Congress of the Confederation.

The correct answer is D. In the Adams-Onis Treaty, Spain gave up all clams to land north of the 42nd parallel.
Explanation:
The Adams-Onis Treaty was the result of the negotiation between Spain and the United States to fix the border between the American nation and the then viceroyalty of New Spain.
The border was set beyond the Sabine River and Arkansas to the 42nd parallel north. As a result, Spain renounced its possessions beyond that latitude, including the territory of Oregon.

The Spanish Crown remained the sole sovereign of Texas, territory that the United States claimed as part of Louisiana, which was purchased from the French in 1803.
