The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the Revolutionary War. They occurred on the same day, April 19, 1775.

British troops were sent from Boston to confiscate colonial armaments known to be present in Concord, 16 to 20 miles to the west of Boston. Riders including Paul Revere had alerted the colonial militias (Minutemen) throughout the area. During the early morning in Lexington, the British fired on a small group of armed colonials, who were forced to disperse. But as the British troops searched Concord, they were confronted by the militia, and routed in a brief battle. The British regulars retreated but were rescued by a larger relief force. The troops were harried all the way back to Boston by the growing colonial forces. The tension between the colonists and England had finally erupted into open warfare, and a year-long siege began around the city of Boston, which was abandoned

by the British forces on March 17, 1776.
