Who fought in the lexington and concord battle?
In Lexington, the 77 militiamen were led by Captain John Parker. They stood in ranks on the village green when the British marched into town enroute to Concord. Parker knew they were badly outnumbered and hoped to avoid conflict, but someone - no one knows who - fired a shot. In the battle, eight militiamen were killed and ten wounded - about one-quarter the total force. No British soldiers were killed and one was wounded. The battle of Concord was much larger. Colonel James Barrett led the 250 militiamen of Concord and nearby Lincoln. When he saw that he was outnumbered almost three to one by the advance guard of the British Army approaching the town, he withdrew to a hilltop outside town and waited for reinforcements. During the day the militia force grew to about 2,000. Colonel Barrett did not command all of it; the militia were local groups, each with their own leader. The leaders discussed their strategy and decided to attack the British. They routed the advance force, but the British had already done some damage to Concord and continued to attack townspeople and militia and search for military supplies as they headed back to Boston. The militiamen also continued to attack the British.
