Continental Congress July 1775 Actions and Early Army Moves
In July 1775 the Continental Congress approved a day of prayer and fasting for July 20 and arranged for two Philadelphia clergymen to lead services. It adjourned briefly, then met in church. Franklin proposed Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Washington warned troops at Cambridge about ammunition use as supplies dwindled. Virginia riflemen and others moved toward Philadelphia to join the army near Boston. The Congress ordered six and a half tons of gunpowder sent under guard. Local Lyons Farms traffic and August to November supply runs signaled ongoing war activity. A Newark youth absconded, and a Newark man warned against hiring him for military service. The Congress also created a Post Office from Falmouth to Savannah with Franklin as Postmaster General. (Credit: Hillside Historical Society and Bicentennial Daybook sources.)
