Bad beef smells really really bad and you would not have to put your nose close to the meat to smell it. You would know there was something wrong. I have had beef that is a little brownish in place and it was fresh and not old. I don't know exactly why it looks that way sometimes but it is probably drying blood.
When the Second Continental Congress came together on May 10, 1775 it was, in effect, a reconvening of the First Continental Congress.
Although the delegates were divided early on as to whether to break from Crown rule, the second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776, gave a unanimous vote for independence, issuing the Declaration of Independence two days later declaring themselves a new nation: the United States of America.o govern during the American Revolutionary War, the Second Continental Congress continued, meeting at various locations, until it became the Congress of the Confederation when the Articles of Confederation were ratified on March 1, 1781.
