The British
They were hoping to capture arms and ammunition that the colonists had stashed in Concord and to also arrest John Hancock and Samuel Adams
It took about 7 miles to get from Lexington to Concord.
They came from Boston’s Charlestown by boat and landed to walk to Lexington and Concord. It is about 20 miles from Boston. One of the problems they encountered was their wet boots from the landing and they got blisters. Plus, it was a hot day and they wore red wool uniforms which also caused them problems and they had no water.
There was 173 killed during Lexington and concord. And about 204 others were injured. The question asks how many were killed at Lexington. The answer is zero. There was one British soldier of the 10th infantry slightly wounded, but there were no other British casualties at Lexington. Later in the day, the British sustained casualties at Concord and on the march back to Boston.
At Lexington, 8 Americans were killed and 10 wounded. At Concord and on the march back to Boston, the Redcoats killed 2 more Americans. When the Redcoats reached Boston, 250 British soldiers had been killed or wounded.
