Question

True or false the continental congress declared independence immediately after the fighting at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 explain

Answer 1

False. The Continental Congress did not declare independence immediately after the fighting at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The fighting at Lexington and Concord marked the start of the American Revolutionary War, but the Continental Congress did not declare independence from Britain until July 4, 1776. The Congress spent the intervening time discussing and debating the idea of independence, and it was not until the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 that the colonies officially declared their independence from Britain.
