Not only was the British Army one of the world's most well-trained armies at the time, but they often had the advantage of numerical superiority. Washington's defeat at the Battle of Trenton showed this weakness. In later conflicts, the colonials adopted many tactics of skirmishing and guerrilla warfare that had been effective in the French and Indian War.

What role did the Minutemen play at Lexington and Concord?

Fighting broke out at Concord, Massachusetts, between the British army and Colonial militias because the British had come to Concord to remove munitions reportedly stored in the town. The militias, warned of the British approach by fighting at nearby Lexington, were drawn up on the Old North Bridge over the Concord River as the British Light Infantry approached. The subsequent firing was the inevitable result of colonial refusal to withdraw and allow the seizure of their arms and ammunition.
