The representatives from the 13 colonies who met in 1774 were part of the First Continental Congress. Key figures included George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and John Jay, among others. They convened in Philadelphia to address colonial grievances against British policies, particularly in response to the Intolerable Acts. This gathering marked a significant step toward colonial unity and the eventual push for independence.
