Talk:Continental Congress

message: How about a list of delegates? For example, I took a guess and looked up James Mitchell Varnum and discovered that he was the delegate from Rhode Island from 1780-1782 and 1786-1787. I suspect that much of this information exists on Wikipedia, but is not organized to be included in this article.38.121.138.113 (talk) 17:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

message: As the terms Continental Congress and Confederation Congress are used interchangeably by some, perhaps a section or simply a link to the Confederation Congress page should be included?  -Daniel T  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.123.19 (talk) 18:22, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

message: We may want to mention all three incarnations in the lede, and mention the third was the governing body under the Articles of Confederation.  Bms4880 (talk) 21:26, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The organization of the Congress is not described.  There is a debate over whether the traditional or conventional wisdom view that the weak Congress was a failure, or the flexible Congress was a success, due to its organization. A section describing the organization of the institution, and its processes, would put the more detailed history and timeline in context.  Both views should be presented.Harrycroswell (talk) 07:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know why the link to volume 14 is no good?  Also, according to the Library of Congress website, there were 34 - not 33 - volumes published.  Where is number 34?   Elsquared (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Currently the article reads, "The Declaration of Independence was issued two days later declaring themselves a new nation: the United States of America."  However, most Americans of the day, both within and without the Continental Congress, considered their State to be their country and the United States to be little more than a military alliance of thirteen separate nations.  The Declaration itself reads, "That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States...that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States..."  The title further reads, "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America."  Note the lower case in "united," indicating that it was not the title of a nation.  It was not until the Articles of Confederation were drafted that "United States of America" was adopted as the, " Stile of this Confederacy."  It was only gradually over time, particularly after the adoption of the Constitution, that people began to see the U.S. as a single nation, particularly after the War of 1812 and the Civil War.  Perhaps the line in the article should be shortened to, "The Declaration of Independence was issued two days later," to acknowledge that many delegates at the time thought they were creating thirteen nations, not one.

message: I'd think that United Colonies, per accuracy, should be placed in the first sentence, but exactly how didn't come to me on a brief look. Thoughts or ruminations? A ping and a thank you to its creator, . Randy Kryn (talk) 03:11, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
