At the battles of Lexington and Concord, the British aimed to seize colonial military supplies stored in Concord and arrest key revolutionary leaders, such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock. While they succeeded in initially reaching Lexington and engaging in a skirmish, they ultimately failed to capture the supplies in Concord, which were hidden by colonial militias. The battles ignited widespread resistance among the colonies, marking the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Overall, the British objectives were only partially achieved, leading to a significant rallying point for the American revolutionaries.

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 first two battles of the Revolutionary War that were fought were the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
