The men who lined up at Lexington were colonial militia members, often referred to as Minutemen, who gathered to confront British troops on April 19, 1775. This confrontation marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. The local leaders, including John Parker, played a crucial role in organizing the militia and standing against the British forces. The famous phrase "the shot heard 'round the world" refers to the first shots fired during this clash.
