They proved they could organize themselves effectively against the loyalists. They were forced to retreat, but just as many if not more loyalists in fact died.

Which date was peter Salem born on?

Peter Salem, a black soiler and patriot was born on October 1st, 1750. (It is unclear whether this is his actual birthdate, but this is when it is celebrated.) Peter Salem was actually born in 1761 and fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill at the age of 14.(It is still unclear when his birthdate is.) He would not actually born in 1750 because he fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill that took place on June 17, 1775. He would be 24 years of age then. Since the battle took place at that time he would be 14 years of age.

How did the Boston massacre lead to the lexington and concord battle?

It didn't lead to Lexington and Concord. First, they were several years apart so there is no direct relationship and there were several "Boston massacre " type events before it. The difference was the propaganda handbills that were drawn by Revere to show the soldiers shooting colonists. It didn't happen the way it was shown and John Adams was the lawyer for the soldiers. They were found not guilty. The battle at Lexington wasn't planned by either side, and to this day no one knows who fired the first shot that morning. No matter that day did result in the first shots, but it still didn't result in the war. It will be another year before the Declaration of Independence and Bunker Hill. After Bunker Hill the king decided that the colonies were in rebellion and traitors to the king.
