The timeline shows the Second Continental Congress formed the Continental Army (June 14), appointed George Washington to lead it (June 15), and asked able-bodied men to join the militia (July 18) in summer 1775. These actions directly relate to organizing colonial military forces for war. The Olive Branch Petition was a peace attempt, but the core focused military organization. Finding allies, passing a constitution, and writing the Declaration of Independence were not actions from this specific summer period.
