As the beginnings of the American Revolution were unfolding, a phrase or quote was born that has been a part of US history. American rebels fired on British troops and thus the "shot heard around the world". It was significant in that a British set of American colonies, mostly with a British heritage were rebelling against the powerful home land, namely Great Britain.
