“Firstival” First Continental Congress: 1774 at Carpenters’ Hall

52 Weeks of Firsts – First Continental Congress: 1774

Before there was a nation, there was a meeting. The First Continental Congress gathered in Philadelphia to hammer out unity and independence, setting the stage for the next Congress, where that very famous declaration was signed. Big ideas, bold voices: it all started here.
