Why was this 4 revolutions battles so important. Lexington and concord and bunker hill and Saratoga and Yorktown?

Answer 1

In April of 1775 the British were marching to Concord to arrest Sam Adams and find the weapons that were hidden there. As they marched from Boston they went through Lexington and 77 colonial men were waiting on the green. A shot rang out and the first battle of the revolution happened. Soon after the British continued on to Concord and on the Concord bridge met more colonial men. Shots were fired again and as the troops marched back to Boston they were shot at all along the road by men behind trees and fences. The Declaration of Independence was written in July 1776 and soon after the British began a siege of Boston. Bunker Hill was one of the high points in the area and the colonial volunteers soon established a hold on the hill. The British attacked their positions and the men on the hill held them off until they ran out of ammunition. Most of the men were killed and the hill was held by the British until they left. This battle convinced the King that the colonies were serious about independence and not acting like "spoiled children " as he once stated.
