Why was the fighting at Lexington signigicant?
The British were unable to achieve their objectives: capture Hancock and Adams and confiscate the munitions that were supposed to be at Concord. The fact that the British lost so many killed and wounded also hurt morale. The British got their first major taste of "hit and run" tactics used by the colonists. Lexington and Concord are considered the first battles of the Revolution. It was time for the colonists to determine which side of the fight they would join, Patriots or Loyalists.

Where did the first battle of the war of independence take place?
On April 19, 1775 the first battle took place at Lexington and Concord a mere 25 miles from Boston. The British regulars came ashore at Charles Town and marched into Lexington around 7 AM. Standing on the Lexington Green were 77 colonial men waiting to meet the most modern army of the time. I don't think anyone intended to start the fighting, but a shot was fired and several colonial men fell dead. The British then raided a few houses and set one or two on fire before heading to Concord. As news of the battle spread more colonial men began to gather until finally they met the British at the Bridge of Concord where "a shot was head around the world" and the war was on. All the rest of that day there were battles between the British regulars and the colonial men. The rest of the 20 miles back to Boston was used to kill British troops. The next battle would be at Bunker Hill.
Was Paul Revere in the Lexington and concord battle?
No. He never made it as far as Lexington. Just outside Boston he was stopped and arrested by the British. His horse was taken from him. Dawes and Prescott came along. Dawes falls off his horse and it is Prescott that warned Sam Adams in Concord. The only reason we know about Revere because Longfellow wrote a poem in 1861 reminding Americans of the revolution. I think Longfellow used Revere because it was easy to rhyme. I don't know how it got into the history books as fact.
