Where and when did the American Revolution start?

Answer 1

it began with the battle in Lexington and Concord in the year of 1775

April 19, 1775 the Battles of Lexington and Concord: the shot heard round the world [though Lexington was barely a skirmish], the Massachusetts Militia [Minute Men] took on the British regulars who had come to seize their gunpowder and arrest some political agitators. Failing to stop them at Lexington, more and more Minute Men filtered into the area until they could face the enemy in equal or better numbers on Concord Bridge. They then harassed the retreating British forces with so-called Indian tactics [guerrilla warfare] all the way back to Boston. More British casualties probably fell on the retreat than at the bridge. The day ended with the militia in control of the countryside and the British regulars in control of Boston.
