Answer:

On July 4 of 1776, the Second Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, severing the colonies from England

Step-by-step explanation:

The Second Congress managed the colonial war effort, financing the war with borrowed funds and without the support of taxes; states were asked to contribute men, supplies, and funds.

This congress acted much more like a government sending ambassadors to foreign countries, printing its own money, getting loans, and raising an army. Major accomplishments of the Second Continental Congress: On June 14, 1775 they established the Continental Army. They made George Washington General of the Army.
