The Minutemen first fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. These skirmishes marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, as colonial militia faced British troops. The confrontation at Lexington is often remembered for the "shot heard 'round the world," symbolizing the start of armed resistance against British rule.
