Delegates from twelve 719colonies (all except Georgia) meet at Carpenter's Hall to address growing 720tensions with Britain. Peyton Randolph of Virginia is elected President of the 721Congress, and Charles Thomson of Pennsylvania is chosen as Secretary. The 722credentials of the delegates from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 723Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, 724and South Carolina are read and approved. The Congress aims to discuss the 725grievances against British policies and plan a collective response.<o:p></o:p></p> 726 727<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 6, 1774 (Tuesday):</b><br /> 728Richard Henry Lee, a delegate from Virginia, arrives and attends the session. 729The Congress adopts rules of order to govern its proceedings, ensuring orderly 730debate and decision-making. It is agreed to begin each session with prayers, 731and Reverend Jacob Duché of Philadelphia is invited to officiate. Thomas 732Johnson, Jr., from Maryland, also attends for the first time.<o:p></o:p></p> 733 734<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 7, 1774 (Wednesday):</b><br /> 735Congress appoints a committee to draft a statement of the rights of the 736colonies, document the violations of those rights by British policies, and 737propose measures to restore them. Another committee is tasked with examining 738British statutes affecting colonial trade and manufacturing, to identify how 739those laws have harmed the colonies. Peyton Randolph, as President, is given 740the authority to adjourn Congress from day to day when no business is under 741consideration.<o:p></o:p></p> 742 743<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 12, 1774 (Monday):</b><br /> 744Matthew Tilghman, a delegate from Maryland, arrives to participate in the 745sessions. Congress continues to deliberate over colonial grievances and discuss 746the best way to approach negotiations with Britain, while still avoiding an 747outright call for independence.<o:p></o:p></p> 748 749<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 14, 1774 (Wednesday):</b><br /> 750William Hooper and Joseph Hewes, delegates from North Carolina, arrive, as does 751Henry Wisner from Orange County, New York. George Ross from Pennsylvania and 752John Alsop from New York also join the sessions. Delegates from Massachusetts 753present a report on the proceedings of a recent meeting held by committees from 754the towns of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, which had convened at Concord in 755late August to oppose the Intolerable Acts imposed by Britain.<o:p></o:p></p> 756 757<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 17, 1774 (Saturday):</b><br /> 758Richard Caswell from North Carolina joins the Congress. The resolutions passed 759by Suffolk County, Massachusetts, on September 6 (known as the <i>Suffolk 760Resolves</i>) are presented to Congress. The Suffolk Resolves denounce the 761Intolerable Acts and call for the colonies to resist British rule. Congress 762votes to approve the Suffolk Resolves, signaling strong support for 763Massachusetts in its confrontation with British authority. It also recommends 764that contributions from all colonies continue to provide relief to the people 765of Boston, suffering under the British-imposed blockade.<o:p></o:p></p> 766 767<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 19, 1774 (Monday):</b><br /> 768Congress refers the Suffolk Resolves to the committee appointed to state the 769rights of the colonies. This committee continues its work to articulate the 770specific rights the colonies believe are being violated and how they will 771defend them.<o:p></o:p></p> 772 773<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 22, 1774 (Thursday):</b><br /> 774Congress issues a recommendation to merchants in all colonies to cease placing 775orders for goods from Britain, part of a larger plan to institute a boycott of 776British imports. This is a significant step toward economic resistance. A 777report from the committee on colonial rights is presented to the Congress and 778read, and copies are made for distribution to the colonies.<o:p></o:p></p> 779 780<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 24, 1774 (Saturday):</b><br /> 781The report from the committee on colonial rights is considered by Congress, but 782the delegates decide to limit their focus to specific rights infringed since 7831763 (the end of the French and Indian War), postponing discussion of broader 784American rights to a future date. A report on the infringements of American 785rights is brought in by the committee, but consideration is deferred as 786Congress shifts to deliberating on the means of restoring those rights.<o:p></o:p></p> 787 788<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 26, 1774 (Monday):</b><br /> 789John Herring from Orange County, New York, arrives and joins the proceedings. 790Congress resumes its consideration of measures for restoring colonial rights, 791focusing on nonviolent means of resistance to British policies, including 792economic boycotts.<o:p></o:p></p> 793 794<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 27, 1774 (Tuesday):</b><br /> 795After further deliberation, Congress adopts a resolution prohibiting the 796importation of all goods, wares, and merchandise from Great Britain or Ireland 797after December 1, 1774, and any products imported after that date are banned 798from use or sale in the colonies. This resolution is a key part of the broader 799non-importation agreement.<o:p></o:p></p> 800 801<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 28, 1774 (Wednesday):</b><br /> 802A resolution is introduced by Joseph Galloway of Pennsylvania, declaring that 803the colonies abhor the idea of becoming independent communities. Galloway also 804presents his <i>Plan of Union</i>, which proposes a federal system where the 805colonies would have a representative body that works with Parliament, while 806remaining under British rule. This plan is debated as an alternative to 807complete resistance.<o:p></o:p></p> 808 809<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 29, 1774 (Thursday):</b><br /> 810Congress continues to debate Galloway’s Plan of Union, but many delegates are 811skeptical of any plan that would leave colonial autonomy too dependent on the 812goodwill of the British government.<o:p></o:p></p> 813 814<p class="MsoNormal"><b>September 30, 1774 (Friday):</b><br /> 815The debate on Galloway’s Plan of Union continues, but no final decision is 816reached.
