Which American colony was the only one that did not send a delegate to the First Continental Congress in 1774?

The American colony which was the only one that did not send a delegate to the First Continental Congress in 1774 was Georgia. In September 1774, delegates from each of the 13 colonies except for Georgia (which was fighting a Native American uprising and was dependent on the British for military supplies) met in Philadelphia as the First Continental Congress. The delegates came together to organize colonial resistance to the English Parliament's Coercive Acts.

Although the First Congress had hoped that all colonies would participate, Georgia initially did not due to a strong lack of anti-British sentiment. Georgia had been the last British colony to be founded in 1732. The British had always intended Georgia to be a refuge for debtors and the worthy poor. It was founded as a buffer zone to protect southern colonies from Native Americans and Spanish incursions. The colonists of Georgia never have a role in the American Revolution which was similar to the other colonies like Massachusetts or Virginia.

The men at the first Congress without any input from Georgia wrote up a petition to send to King George III; it had no effect on the British Crown. A Second Continental Congress was convened in 1775. It was held at the onset of the American Revolutionary War. Lyman Hall went to the Second Continental Congress as a delegate from Georgia. He would become one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Georgia in 1775 was on-board with the Revolutionary cause.
