A lot of patriots died. The British soldiers died too.
The Battle of Lexington and Concord was between Britain and the colonists in America. It happened April 19, 1775, when the colonists minutemen gathered on the Lexington Common. The British were heading toward Concord for illegal gunpowder that was stored there. But due to the colonists spies, we were alerted of the plans much earlier and were able to move the supplies to a different location. The British were on their way when the colonists Minutemen, a small group of men that were called Minutemen because they were said to be ready for battle within a minutes time, were gathered on the Lexington Common. There were only about sixty minutemen against 700 British! A bloody battle began and we lost eight men, ten more wounded, so we had to retreat. But it was reassuring to find that one of their men was wounded. So we retreated to the North Bridge. By then, militiamen, men who formed a mini army for the colonies, were alerted about the battle. So over 500 militiamen gathered at the North Bridge! We fought the British until they retreated and as they left back for Boston, Minutemen shot at them from behind stone walls. This was the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
On April 19, 1775 in the colonial town of Lexington the first shot was fired. Seventy-seven of the men waited on the town green for the British. No one knows who fired the first shot, but before the British moved on to Concord several colonists were dead and houses burned.
