Paul Revere and William Dawes were sent to warn the colonists when British troops began moving from Boston toward Lexington and Concord. They rode through the night on April 18, 1775, alerting militias and residents of the impending British advance. Their famous midnight ride helped prepare the colonial forces for the battles that would ignite the American Revolutionary War.

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.
Concord
the loyalists patriots was divided into two sides
"Lexington" was not a team that was playing a game. When the shots were fired several of the 77 men in Concord died on the Lexington green. The British moved on to Concord where the battle at Concord Bridge took place, so there were two different battles. The British basically won the morning in Lexington, but lost the day at Concord and going back to Boston.
