Who let the colonial militias at Lexington and concord?
The battles of Lexington and Concord were important because they were the first battles of the Revolutionary War. Lexington was not a full-fledged battle, but only a skirmish. An advance guard of six companies of the British Regular Army entered the town at sunrise on April 19, 1775. About 80 Lexington militiamen under the leadership of Captain John Parker stood in ranks on the village common. No one is sure who fired the first shot. Eight Massachusetts men were killed and ten were wounded. None of the British soldiers was killed and only one was wounded. Colonel James Barrett led the militia in the town of Concord. He first marched toward the British, but when he saw the colonials were outnumbered almost three to one, he wisely withdrew to a hillside outside of town, expecting that he would receive reinforcements as the day progressed. Militiamen from many nearby villages arrived until the colonials had a force of about 2,000. They routed the first group of British troops, who retreated down the road heading back to Boston. The militia continued to shoot at them along the way.
