Did battle of concord happen after battle of Lexington?
Yes. The Battle of Lexington and Concord are often referred to as a single battle due to the proximity of their locations and the fact that they happened consecutively on the same day. The Battle of Lexington, which occurred prior to hostilities at Concord, was much more of a minor skirmish than a true battle, in the traditional sense.Lexington was fought between members of the Lexington Militia and British soldiers. Despite the belief by many that Lexington "Minutemen" were present that day, Lexington actually had noMinutemen, as they could not afford them. Minuteman were members of a local militia who were usually the most fit and best trained members of a militia. Towns paid Minutemen to drill much more frequently than regular militia members and to be "ready" at a minutes notice, hence their name, to respond to trouble, usually Indian attacks.The Lexington Militia, having notice of the Regular's or "Redcoats", as they referred to the British soldiers, not "the British", (remember the colonists at this point considered themselves British citizens) pending arrival gathered at Buckman Tavern in the very early morning hours of April 19, 1775, adjacent to the Lexington Green, a common area at the center of the town. After several hours of waiting for the Regulars, word of their imminent arrival reached them and they mustered in formation on the Green. The Regulars approached the Green and with weapons at the ready, ordered the "rebels" to drop their weapons. History will probably never know which side fired the first shot, or shots, but soon thereafter eight militia members laid dead or dying, with others injured. The Regulars only suffered one minor injury there. After composing their troops and re-establishing order, the British force proceeded to the town of Concord.

What was the American strategy for the Lexington concord?
There was 1000000 strategy. It was an unplanned event. As the troops marched into Lexington the men of the town met and decided to face them on the village green. The 77 men gathered their flintlocks to face the most powerful army of their time. As they stood there watching the troops file in they were told to leave the green and they refused. A shot rang out and shooting began. Before it was finished several men were dead, some houses were on fire, and the troops were moving on to Concord. Word got out about the mornings events and colonial men began to gather so they could respond in return.
