Question

Which of the following was NOT an accomplishment of the Second Continental Congress?

A.) Formed the Continental Army
B.) Chose George Washington as Commander of the Continental Congress
C.) Created a navy
D.) Declared independence from Britain

Answer 1

The Second Continental Congress did NOT declare independence from Britain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D.) Declared independence from Britain. The Second Continental Congress was responsible for several important accomplishments. They formed the Continental Army to fight against the British, chose George Washington as Commander of the Continental Army, and created a navy to defend American interests. However, the actual declaration of independence from Britain was not made by the Second Continental Congress, but rather by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, through the Declaration of Independence.
