Question

Why was ending all trade with Britain and Ireland in the First Continental Congress a good thing?

Answer 1

Accomplishments. The primary accomplishment of the First Continental Congress was a compact among the colonies to boycott British goods beginning on December 1, 1774, unless parliament should rescind the Intolerable Acts. Although the Continental Congress did not function well in a time of peace, it had helped steer the nation through one of its worst crises, declared its independence and helped to win a war to secure that independence.

Answer 2

Answer: What inference can you draw from why the First Continental Congress cut off trade with Britain and Ireland? Colonial leaders thought a boycott against British trade would be effective. The colonists had realized that they might have to fight British soldiers.
