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.
