Question: During the first continental congress, did georgia sign the declaration of rights and grievances!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It doesn't look like Georgia attended!. See following:

In March, 1774, the British Parliament passed a series of laws they referred to as the Coercive Acts!. The Americans called them the Intolerable Acts!. The Acts were primarily designed to punish the colony of Massachusetts for defying British policies; specifically, for the Boston Tea Party!. Outrage in the Americas over the Intolerable Acts led to the calling of the First Continental Congress in September, 1774!. During the First Congress, which included representatives from all of the colonies except Georgia, the delegates decided to take several actions, including a boycott of British goods!. It also drafted a declaration to the King and Parliament, outlining the position of the Congress!. This work is the Declaration of Rights and Grievances!.
