The '''Second Continental Congress''', 1775-1789, is by far the more noteworthy of the two Continental Congresses. It was created in late 1774 when the [[First Continental Congress]] called on the colonies to send delegates to the Second one. It met in Philadelphia  at [[Independence Hall]] and was the national government that [[Declaration of Independence|declared independence in July 1776]], fought, financed, and won the [[American Revolution]] with the help of [[France]] and other allies.
