What battle began the revolutinary war?
The Battle of Lexington The Battle of Lexington and Concord (Massachusetts) was the first conflict between armed British and American militia. It might be argued that this was not a real "battle". The "skirmish" at Lexington occurred when the British forces marched to the town green at Lexington, MA at 5am on 19 April 1775. Then later that day, the American militia fired on the British at the North Bridge at Concord, killing 8 British soldiers. That began a running battle as the British withdrew back to Boston and many more were killed on both sides.
For What Reason were the British Marching to Lexington?
They were actually marching to Concord, but Lexington was on the way. They wanted to get from Boston to Concord MA to seize the ammunition stored there, so the colonial militia wouldn't use it against the British. In that time, there were really only a few routes from Boston to Concord because everything was forest or farmland. The route ran through Lexington, and the militia there were alerted to the British approach, so they came out to delay the British from getting to Concord. This delay, which became the "Shot Heard Round the World" when a skirmish broke out, gave the Concord militia enough time to remove a lot of ammunition and gave revolutionary leaders time to escape capture. The "battle" on Lexington Green was the first actual battle of the American Revolution.
