No it wasn’t a professional army that April morning. It was the men from the town facing the most powerful army in the world at that time. No one knows who fired the first shot.

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.

Lexington was 77 colonial men on the town green meeting 1800 British regulars. These were well trained troops meeting farmers. When they left Lexington for Concord they left several men dead, but coming back from there was harder. Hundreds of colonials met to fight them and as they walked back the 30 miles to Boston in wool uniforms in 86 degree weather many went berserk. They charged into houses and killed the people, looted houses, set houses on fire, and by the time they reached Boston that night 273 men had been killed by the colonial forces. The colonial had 91 killed.
