Fighting broke out before Second Continental Congress met.

Explanation:

The Second Continental Congress was the convention of delegates of the Thirteen Colonies, which began its meetings on May 10, 1775, shortly after the outbreak of the United States War of Independence. It was a continuation of the First Continental Congress, which met during the previous year, 1774. The Second Continental Congress took over the military effort and slowly moved towards independence, finally adopting the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4 of 1776. With the formation of the army, the direction of its strategies, the appointment of diplomats and the signing of official treaties, Congress acted de facto as the Government of what would become the United States. With the ratification of the articles of the Confederation in 1781, the Congress was renamed the Congress of the Confederation.
