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.
