Where did the first battle in the American Revolution take place?

The first battle was fought at Lexington, where the so called 'shot heard around the world' was fired by an unknown gunman, beginning the first battle of the war. The British won this battle and marched on to Concord, where they were defeated and forced to retreat to Boston. On the way, they had to go back through Lexington, where the Revolvers were waiting to take revenge, causing another defeat for the British army.


Who forced the redcoats to get out of Concord and into Boston?

An American colonial militia called the Minutemen, due to the fact they claimed they could prepare themselves to fight in a minute. The militia had just cleared the cache of arms they had stashed in Concord. The British were going there to take the cache of arms themselves (they learned from a tip by a loyalist), but the militia got there first and drove them out, firing on them as they marched back to Boston. It was the second battle of the beginning of the American Revolution, following a colonial loss at Lexington, where the militia had met the redcoats on their way to Concord from Boston in the first place.
