Yes , I think it did. It led toward it, but the start of it was the battles of Lexington and concord.
No one led the battle of Lexington. It was an event that just happened and history does not report who fired the first shot. The British were enroute to Concord when they found the 77 colonist on the Lexington green. Someone fired the first shot and soon a battle began. When it was all done the British reorganized and continued their march to Concord.
The events were that there was a battle of Concord.
The battle of Lexington and the battle of concord. Both were individual battles that later led to the American Revolution. Remember, the Boston Massacre was not a battle, but instead a propaganda created by Paul Revere to make people turn against the British. :-)
At the formal start of the American War for Independence, the Battles of Lexington and Concord led to support for the independence movement for several reasons. For one thing, the Lexington battle demonstrated yet again the British willingness to shed American blood, and this galvanized many Americans. For another thing, the American victory at Concord inspired confidence in many Americans that the British could be beaten in a war.
It led up to the start of the American Revolution.

In the Revolutionary Period of America's history, the April 1775 battles of Lexington and Concord provoked diverse reactions among American colonists. Some reacted with apathy, some were surely filled with fear about what would happen next, while others (Loyalists) reacted with disapproval of the American hostilities. The most influential group, however, reacted with fervent patriotism: in support of the Americans who stood their ground at those first battles of the Revolution, they took up arms and otherwise prepared to join the War for Independence.
Thomas Gauge is important to the history of the United States because of his time as governor of Massachusetts. He was charged with enforcing the Intolerable Acts and attempted to prevent the colonists from revolting. His orders to confiscate weapons from the rebels led to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which were the earliest battles of the Revolutionary War.
The principal events that led to armed conflict were the taxes on the colonists, the increase of military presences in the colonies, and after the Boston Tea Party, Britain's declaration that Massachusetts was in open rebellion. The British had passed the Intolerable Acts to principally attack Massachustts and on April 18, 1775 the British troops were planning to march on Concord that night. Joseph Warren got ahold of this information and immediately dispatched couriers to alert residents of the news. This allowed colonists to arm themselves and meet the British for battle at Lexington.
April 19, 1775 was the date of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in the subsequent Commonwealth of Massachusetts.Specifically, the fighting in this first armed conflict between the British regulars and the colonial Patriots was not limited to just those two historic towns. It actually extended into the nearby towns of Menotomy (present day Arlington), Lincoln, and Cambridge. It ended with the withdrawal of the British. It was the point of no return for both sides in the struggle that ultimately led to the founding of the United States of America.
