Explanation:
- The Second Continental Congress was a convention of delegates from thirteen British North American colonies that met on May 10, 1775 shortly after the outbreak of an armed conflict between the American colonists and the British government later known as the American Revolutionary War.
- Its convening, in the event of escalation of the conflict, was foreseen by the First Continental Congress, convened a year earlier. The Second Congress organized and coordinated the war effort of the colonies and gradually prepared politically for independence, which it proclaimed in the landmark Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
- Since it raised armies, coordinated strategy, appointed diplomats, and formalized international agreements, Congress acted as a de the facto national government of the future US.
- This status was formalized by the Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781, after which Congress became the Congress of the Confederacy.
