Entry 2: October 1775

The Second Contentinental Congress met in Philedaphia again had a meeting called the Second Continental Congress. The stupid King ignored our Declaration of Rights, and I'm thinking "Oh yeah buddy its' on now!" We are now building up a contiential army, and sending the Olive Branch Petition over to England. Robert said he is thinking about joining the army. The farm buisness keeps getting worse and worse since so many of the Loyalists are moving up to Canada, so there are less customers. I really hope he decides not to join. I couldn't imagine raising my boys by myself, without him.
