Why was the location of the First Continental Congress so important? What did Carpenter's Hall represent to the delegates?
Carpenter's Hall was the town hall of Philadelphia. The colonial leaders chose Philadelphia because at the time it was the biggest and most comfortable city in America. It provided the colonial leaders a welcoming place to go and if it was to be a lengthy process they were in the perfect city for an extended stay. Carpenter Hall represented a meeting house where the leaders could come together, sit down, have conversations, and make decisions.
