Lesson Purpose
After the Boston Tea Party occurred in December of 1773, Parliament retaliated with the Coercive Acts, punishing not only Massachusetts but all of the Thirteen Colonies. To address this with a united front, the First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in September and October of 1775. They met at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the subject of this coloring page.
