Continental congress was formed which decided to write the grievances and indictments of the oppressive rule of the British to the king
Explanation:
Congress made a respectful petition to inform the king regarding the oppressive coercive acts and intolerable acts which were inflicted on the colonists and they were not even given representation in the parliament which would give them an opportunity to vent out their grievances.

Life in America during the mid 1800's was very complex. On one hand you have free and enslaved blacks constantly facing prejudice and discrimination in American society. Politicians all over the South used their best persuasion skills to convince white Southerners that blacks were inferior to whites as a means to justify the institution of slavery.
