the fighting started at Lexington and ended in Concord Massachusetts
The Battle of Bunker Hill (17 June 1775) was the first American victory of the British. While others claim Concord (the 'Shot heard 'round the world) as the first; Concord was only a skirmish; Bunker Hill was a full-scale battle in which American forces drove the British Regular Army troops off the hill three times before they ran short of musket shot, cannon balls, and gunpowder, and had to evacuate the hill.
Some colonists were throwing snowballs with sticks in them at the soldiers. One of the soldiers slipped and accidentally fired his gun. In confusion the other soldiers began to shoot at the colonists and killed 5 and injured 6.
This was the Boston Massacre. It happened on March 5, 1770, in Boston, Massachusetts. British soldiers killed 5 civilians, and injured 6 others. British troops had been stationed in Boston to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. A mob formed around some British soldiers, and in response, they fired into the crowd, instantly killing 3 people and wounding others. 2 more people died later of wounds sustained in the incident.
This statement is not accurate. The Boston Massacre, which occurred in 1770, was a violent clash between British soldiers and a crowd of colonists in Boston. It did not involve any orders regarding settlement in the Ohio Valley. The Ohio Valley was a much later focal point of conflict during the American Revolution and frontier expansion in the late 18th century.

The British troops moved on Lexington and Concord in an attempt to seize a reported arms cache, and to attempt the capture of John Hancock and Samuel Adams. The information obtained by the British concerning the existence of the arms and the whereabouts of Hancock and Adams was good, but the two patriots were warned of the British movement by Paul Revere, and the colonials chose to stand and fight rather than retire, thus starting the war for American Independence.
