Many colonists believed that a fight with the British would first break out in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. These towns were seen as flashpoints for rising tensions, especially after the passage of the Intolerable Acts and increasing British military presence. The British aimed to seize colonial militias' weapons stored in Concord, prompting the confrontation with colonial militias in April 1775. This event marked the beginning of armed conflict between the colonies and Britain.
