Lexington and Concord, Mass were the sites of the battles.
On April 19, 1775 in the colonial town of Lexington the first shot was fired. Seventy-seven of the men waited on the town green for the British. No one knows who fired the first shot, but before the British moved on to Concord several colonists were dead and houses burned.
The Battle of Concord was fought in guerrilla warfare style with colonists sniping from behind rocks and trees at the British soldiers as they marched from Concord back to Boston. The British were more used to fighting in open fields with the armies facing each other in long fronts. The British were on a single road in column formation in the open while the colonists shot from concealed positions.
