Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the American Revolution, not a separate war. British soldiers were sent to seize militia arms and ammunition stored in Concord. They were intercepted by the Minutemen at Lexington Green but the resistance was brief and the Americans withdrew with a few casualties. When the British reached Concord, the Americans had gained additional support and the ‘shot heard around the world’ was fired. The British column retreat turned into a rout under heavy sniping.
