Who won the battle of concord?
The Battles of Lexington and Concord themselves were won by the British troops who marched out of Boston in 1775 to take weapons that were being stockpiled by colonists of Massachussetts that were seeking independence. That said however, the sporadic fighting however after the battles themselves caused the British forces serious casualties. Following the Battles of Lexington and Concord the Massachussetts Colonial Militia also known as Minutemen who had lost those battles attacked the British on their return march to Boston from Lexington and Concord. These attacks were American Indian style attacks where the Minutemen were camoflagued as they attacked and the British could not see them to fight back. In the end of the Lexington and Concord engagements there were some approximately 50 Minutemen casualties of dead and wounded troops while there were some 300 British casualties of dead and wounded upon their return to Boston.

How many british died during the battle of lexington?
None. The first shot fired in the Revolution was when the British column marched into Lexington, MA, early on the morning of 19 April. The minutemen of Lexington were waiting on the green. After an exchange of volleys, the minutemen dispersed and several were killed and wounded. No British soldiers were killed. Later, the British went on to Concord and a patrol was confronted by minutemen from Acton and Bedford. Shots were exchanged and the first British soldier was killed. The British pulled out of Concord and returned to Boston. All along the way the minutemen fired at them. Many other British and Americans died during this running battle. Your question probably asked for the total killed on this day. Casualties: The British Regiments suffered 19 officers and 250 soldiers killed and wounded. The American losses did not exceed 90 men.
