On April 19, 1775 the first battle took place at Lexington and Concord a mere 25 miles from Boston. The British regulars came ashore at Charles Town and marched into Lexington around 7 AM. Standing on the Lexington Green were 77 colonial men waiting to meet the most modern army of the time. I don't think anyone intended to start the fighting, but a shot was fired and several colonial men fell dead. The British then raided a few houses and set one or two on fire before heading to Concord. As news of the battle spread more colonial men began to gather until finally they met the British at the Bridge of Concord where "a shot was head around the world" and the war was on. All the rest of that day there were battles between the British regulars and the colonial men. The rest of the 20 miles back to Boston was used to kill British troops. The next battle would be at Bunker Hill.
