The First Continental Congress

I do not think of myself as a Holland Lop, but as a member of the Lagomorphs! Okay, maybe that's not the same as the colonies uniting, but you get the point. If your don't then you should slap yourself with a wet trout. I mean it. Well, diving right into our subject, in September 1774, about 50 leaders from different colonies gathered together in Philadelphia. (The place, not the cream cheese; though it is delicious on carrot cake.)

The delegates pretty much thought that all the colonies were seperate, while Patrick Henry tried to convince them to think otherwise. While this method didn't quite work, they all found common ground with their love of liberty and their hate of tyranny.

The delegates then wrote a polite message to King George asking him to look at their complaints and give them their rights. They also stated that British goods would be boycotted until the Intolerable Acts were repealed. Now, lets talk to a man who jumps onto soapboxes to give pep talks, Patrick Henry! (Henry, henry, henry... echo....)

Patrick Henry: Unlike the starfish character with my name, I am quite intelligent. Together we are strong, and thats the whole idea. We will fight the lobsterbacks until we have our freedom!

Thanks, Patrick. Say hi to Spongebob for me.
