The Battles of Lexington and Concord happened first! Battles of Lexington and Concord - April 19, 1775 Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776
On April 19, 1775 in the colonial town of Lexington the first shot was fired. Seventy-seven of the men waited on the town green for the British. No one knows who fired the first shot, but before the British moved on to Concord several colonists were dead and houses burned.
Although eyewitnesses disagree on how it happened and who fired first, the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired at the Battle of Lexington, in the early morning of April 19, 1775.The 'battle" was actually a skirmish when British soldiers enroute to Concord came across armed colonial militiamen. After a brief exchange of fire, the Americans dispersed. It was not until later in the day that Minutemen, warned by Revere, Dawes, and others, routed a force of Redcoats at the Battle of Concord. These separate battles are often considered as a whole as the first open conflict in the war.
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.
The Battles of Lexington and Concord were important for they were the first battles of the Evolutionary War.

The battle of Lexington. Indeed the British troops engaged at Lexington were the same who had to carry on the march to Concord.
Both battles occurred on April 19, 1775: first the Battle of Lexington (a British victory) and then the Battle of Concord (an American victory). Both battles were mainly caused by the Boston Massacre. Some people think the Americans attacked at Lexington for revenge. The Americans started retreating toward Concord, where they met reinforcements and were able to overpower the British soldiers.

The "midnight rides" by Paul Revere and William Dawes (April 18-19, 1775) came first, alerting the colonial militias of the movement of British troops from Boston into the countryside. Later on April 19 came the Battle of Lexington (a skirmish the British won) and the Battle of Lexington (which compelled the British to retreat to Boston). The Battle of Bunker Hill (fought mainly on Breed's Hill) was fought 2 months later, on June 17, 1775.

The first American victory came at the Battle of Concord, which followed the skirmish at the Battle of Lexington, on April 19, 1775.British forces from Boston, who were out to confiscate weapons in Concord, fired against a small group of militia gathered in Lexington, closer to Boston. As the British continued east and searched Concord, riders (including Paul Revere) had alerted the colonial militia, which fired upon and routed the British. As they fled back to Lexington with their main force, the Redcoats were joined by a rescue party, and the entire column was pursued and fired upon enroute back to Boston by a force of up to 3800 militiamen. With the arrival of thousands more of the Minutemen from the area, the Siege of Boston began.concordnovember 5th,2009
