- It was on the Spring of, April 19, 1775. The British Army got out from Boston with about 700 British troops to capture rebel leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington and to destroy the Americans store of weapons and army supply in Concord.And they did not look happy.
- Captain Parker knew that his militia was very outnumbered and the military supplies had already been hidden,upon arriving to Concord they faced 77 militia men who refused to lay their arms down,when a shot rang out, no one knew "The Shot heard Round The World."Battle.
- But later on caused the British to retreat because they got attacked by colonial forces which caused them to loose further more men.
- The Rebels had 8 men killed from the first battle but the British had lost 73 mean and over 150 wounded from the battle and attacks.While the Colonial militia prepared to fight and defend themselves from the British forces.colonial forces learned of the British intelligence on their supply hold and prepared for their arrival.
- The colonial forces gathered and prepared to defend the supply stock at Concord with a force of 400 men while the British only had about 90 men because of all the attacks on their way.They were armed and ready, colonists insisted the British had provoked the fighting, and the colonial militia fought back. Using their knowledge of the strength, colonial forces fired upon the British on their march back to Boston.
- It was an American victory Militia successfully drive British back to Boston.But it wasn't over yet, this battle was the spark of the American Revolutionary War.At this time, even though the patriots were overpowered by the larger and better trained British, they managed to find a strategy to place themselves at the top of the hill in the better position, and as a result, far fewer patriots died.But that wasn't the only battle that they used such intelligent strategy, like the battle of Saratoga in 1777, the patriots took out the British leaders making them not to follow the war rules and as an advantage it slowed the British down using an efficient sneak attack and that was when they got an ally "The french."Not only that,in 1781 in York Town , the war was bad for everybody especially for the British, when they tried to get supplies the French had surrounded them on Land and Sea, there was no way out, only by soul.They were "Dough nutted" and had no choice but to retreat, at last the patriots had gained their independence.That was the last major battle of the American Revolution, they united stated were created. While the colonists lost many men, the Battles of Lexington and Concord were considered a major military victory and displayed to the British and King George III that unjust behavior would not be tolerated in America not only that but all of them.Those men were very brave and sacrificed almost their everything to have equal rights and for that we own them a lot.
