2:29Now PlayingThey came to unite the colonies — and nearly failed on the first day.
Before independence… before war… America’s fate was decided inside one quiet hall.
In September 1774, delegates from 12 colonies gathered in Philadelphia for the First Continental Congress, responding to Britain’s Intolerable Acts and debating how far resistance should go. What began with arguments over rules, voting, and even whether to open with a prayer soon became the first true test of American unity.
Over seven tense weeks, figures like John Adams, George Washington, and Patrick Henry wrestled with impossible questions: Could the colonies act together? Could they resist British tyranny without war? And what would unity cost?
This episode explores how the Congress forged common ground through the Declaration and Resolves and the Articles of Association, launching economic resistance against Britain — and quietly preparing for something more.
