Answer:

It included delegates from all but one colony, promoting cooperation among the colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The First Continental Congress gathered representatives of 12 colonies on September 5, 1774, in Philadelphia. Georgia did not participate because it was fighting a Native American revolt and it depended on British supplies. The purpose was to organize common efforts to oppose the Coercitive Acts passed by the British Parliament. Some of the great future leaders and statesmen came to Phladelphia: George Washington, John Adams, John Jay.
