The start of the revolution was April 1775 in Lexington and Concord when the British marched to find a stockpile of powder and weapons in Concord. The first shots were fired in Lexington when 77 men and boys waited on the village green for the British that morning. No one knows who fired that shot, but it resulted in some of the Lexington men dying, houses being burned and ransacked by the British before they moved on to Concord. Word got out what had happened in Lexington and by the time the British got to Concord colonists were waiting for them. Another event happened at the Concord Bridge where more shots were fired. The British retreated, but all the way back to Boston the colonists fired at them from behind trees, rocks, and the fence that bordered the road. Some of the British troops went mad seeing friends wounded, or killed. It was a hot day and the troops worn wool uniforms, had wet boots from landing in Charlestown in boats, and they had no water or food that day. The British were not prepared for what happened that day. It will be another year before the Declaration of Independence is written in 1776 and the battle of Bunker Hill.
