American MinutemenThe objective of the march on Lexington was to capture some of the "rebels" who were organizing the minutemen to fight against the British rule.

But some men stood on the town square to oppose the British and about 8(?) Colonists were killed. When the British reached Concord, they did find and destroy some supplies.Then the American minutement of Bedford (town) attacked the British at the North Bridge in Concord where the first British casualties. The British column began a withdrawal. They suffered more casualties back at a ridge outside of Lexington. As they retreated, the alarm went out to more and more towns and the Colonists began to take a toll on the British by firing from behind houses and stone walls.There were deaths on both sides, but the number of British killed out-numbered the Colonists.I need to now

Why did Lexington and Concord fight?
British General Gage learned that the colonists had stored supplies and ammunition at Concord, MA, some 20 miles from Boston. On 19 April 1775, he sent 700 of his troops to seize the munitions and, if possible, capture and arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Gage had received information that those two “rebels” were hiding out in Concord. Warning the Americans that the British were marching to Concord were the trio Revere, Dawes, and Prescott, of the famous “Midnight Ride.” When British Major John Pitcairn arrived at Lexington, which was on the way to Concord, he found 70 American minutemen (actually, they were almost all farmers) in battle formation at the town square. Pitcairn ordered the Americans to disperse but when they didn’t move after the second order to do so, someone fired a shot. It is not known if the shot was fired by Americans or British. The British easily cleared Lexington and marched on to Concord. He found more Americans arming the bridge into the town so Pitcairn order the British to return to Boston. All the way back to Boston, the Americans sniped at the British from behind trees and rocks, inflicting serious injury to the British troops. When the Redcoats reached Boston, 250 had been killed or wounded.

Why were the British not able to control the countryside?
When the British was fighting in America, during the American Revolutionary War, the soldiers had little knowledge of the landscape. An example would be that soldiers could go into hiding in certain areas or territories that were not on the map of America at that time, and the British found it impossible to find the American soldiers that lived in country or rural regions of the New World.
Why did colonists clash with the British at Lexington and Concord?
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.
Who was the commanding officer of the battle of concord?
The British commander was General Thomas Gage. In 1774 he was appointed the military governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay (Massachusetts) under the laws known as the Intolerable Acts. After troops arrived from England and the battle of Bunker Hill was fought (June 17, 1775), Gage received word of his recall as commander on September 26, 1775.
