Answer 1

In April 1775, the Battles of Lexington and Concord marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. British troops were sent to confiscate colonial weapons stored in Concord, Massachusetts. However, local militia, alerted by Paul Revere and others, confronted the British at Lexington, leading to the first shots fired. The skirmish escalated as the British continued to Concord, where they faced significant resistance from colonial forces, ultimately retreating under heavy fire.
