The first shots fired in the American Revolution, often referred to as "The Shot Heard 'Round the World," were fired at Lexington, Massachusetts.
On April 18, 1775, in Lexington, the British ordered for the minutemen to go home and they refused so someone fired a shot and that was known as the "shot heard around the world" and the first shot of the American Revoultion. Til' this day, they still dont know who fired the shot.
There were a number of minor (and some not-so-minor) skirmishes between the American colonists and the British Army, but the "Shots Heard 'Round The World" were fired in Lexington and Concord, MA, on April 19, 1775.
The shot heard round the world was the first shot in Lexington. No one knew who shot it but it was the shot that started the battle at Lexington. ( I think the red coats shot it :)
No one knows who fired the first shot at Lexington beginning the American Revolution. In Europe, Gavrilo Princip fired the shot that killed the Archduke Ferdinand and ignited World War 1.
the first shots fired of this war was in fort Sumter
The shots were considered to be the beginning of the American Revolution, and the American Revolution had worldwide impact. The beginning events were "heard around the world" because of the eventual impact of what followed.

The "Shot Heard around the world" was fired on April 19, 1775 at Lexington Green. However, there are lots of differing accounts as to who fired first--the British or the revolutionaries.

They didn't have nicknames. On the bridge at Concord a statue has been erected of a minuet man that states the " shots were heard around the world" were fired there on April 19, 1775.

Because it was where the first shots of the American Revolution were fired. The first battle was actually at Lexington, then it continued onto Concord. This was the beginning of the end of British rule around the world. Until this time, Britain was a major world sea power and ruled in India and The New World. It would be a long time until the USA would become a super power, but this was the start.
The state was Massachusetts. This was the battle of Lexington.
The colonist heard the shot heard round the world in 1775. It is the shot that was first fired in the American Revolutionary War.
