Best Answer

the British people who had settled in what is now Massachusetts had decided to separate themselves from the rule of the English monarchy. The British soldiers were coming to attack the farmers and subjugate them once more to the royal rule. The men who were mostly farmers, were waiting at Concord, by a river for the oncoming British soldiers. When the British soldiers arrived, set to do battle, the farmers fired upon them and thus began the Revolutionary War which ended with The Independence of America !

The poem from which this phrase is taken is entitled "Concord"

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,

Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,

Here, once, the embattled farmers stood

And fired the shot heard 'round the world."
