SUMMARY:250th Anniversary of the First Massachusetts Provincial Congress
DESCRIPTION:On October 7\, 1774\, ninety chosen representatives met at Salem in defiance of General Gage’s order. They elected John Hancock to serve as chairman. They resolved to form themselves into “a Provincial Congress…to take into consideration the dangerous and alarming situation of public affairs in this province\, and to consult and determine on such measures as they shall judge will tend to promote the true interest of his majesty\, and the peace\, welfare\, and prosperity of the province.” The establishment of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress was essentially a coup détat: a sudden\, violent\, and unlawful seizure of power. The royal government\, headed by General Gage\, was now isolated and virtually powerless except for the presence of the army and navy in Boston.
