The "shot heard around the world" refers to soldiers killed at the battle of Lexington and Concord in Concord, Massachusetts, which preceded the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Ralph Waldo Emerson chronicled this event as being "the shot heard around the world" in the opening stanza of his famous work, "Concord Hymn".
