The Battles of Lexington and Concord themselves were won by the British troops who marched out of Boston in 1775 to take weapons that were being stockpiled by colonists of Massachussetts that were seeking independence. That said however, the sporadic fighting however after the battles themselves caused the British forces serious casualties. Following the Battles of Lexington and Concord the Massachussetts Colonial Militia also known as Minutemen who had lost those battles attacked the British on their return march to Boston from Lexington and Concord. These attacks were American Indian style attacks where the Minutemen were camoflagued as they attacked and the British could not see them to fight back. In the end of the Lexington and Concord engagements there were some approximately 50 Minutemen casualties of dead and wounded troops while there were some 300 British casualties of dead and wounded upon their return to Boston.

The Minutemen began to fight back in the Revolutionary War during the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. These confrontations marked the first military engagements between colonial militias and British troops. The Minutemen, composed of local militia members, confronted British forces in Lexington, leading to the "shot heard 'round the world," and later engaged in a larger skirmish at Concord, where they successfully pushed the British back to Boston.
Colonial responses to British actions included organized protests, such as the Boston Tea Party, where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor to oppose the Tea Act. Additionally, the formation of the Continental Congress allowed colonies to coordinate their resistance and articulate their grievances against British policies. Finally, widespread boycotts of British goods emerged as a means to resist taxation and assert economic independence.
No. The Boston Massacre occurred on 5 March 1770. The British did not leave Boston until 17 March 1776, following the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, among other actions, and an 11-month siege of the city by the Continental Army and local militias.
The Minutemen effectively utilized their knowledge of the local terrain, employing guerrilla tactics to ambush British soldiers during their retreat from Boston. As the British marched along the road to Concord, the Minutemen took advantage of cover provided by trees, fences, and buildings, allowing them to fire upon the British with relative safety. This strategic use of surprise and mobility, coupled with the British soldiers' lack of preparedness for a sustained skirmish, resulted in significant casualties for the retreating forces.
It really wasn't much of a Battle there at Concord. However, a few Minutemen contronted some British soldiers and fired and killed some of them. This was the first time that the Americans inflicted casualties against the British. The British forces began their return trip to protection of Boston and more and more Minutemen began to come out and fire at the retreating British. This continued all day along the road back to Boston. This ignited the American Revolution into a full-scale war.

most of the deaths occurred between concord and Boston as the American snipers picked off a lot of British as they were retreating.
