The Continental Congress met in one of the most
conservative of the seaport towns from which the
revolutionary movement stemmed. Philadelphia
patriots complained that there was more Toryism in
Pennsylvania than in all the colonies combined;
certainly the Quakers who dominated the province
were more concerned in putting down radicalism at
home than resisting tyranny from abroad. The

Philadelphia in September 1774 was likewise a good
augury to the conser...
