The British commander at the Battle of Lexington was Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith. Issued with orders to march northwards to Concord for the purpose of uncovering hidden arms (and also to arrest certain rebel leaders), Lt. Col. Smith did as ordered, dispersing a small force of Americans at Lexington only to be outdone by superior colonial numbers in Concord later in the day. He was injured in the retreat to Boston.

Both battles occurred on April 19, 1775: first the Battle of Lexington (a British victory) and then the Battle of Concord (an American victory). Both battles were mainly caused by the Boston Massacre. Some people think the Americans attacked at Lexington for revenge. The Americans started retreating toward Concord, where they met reinforcements and were able to overpower the British soldiers.
