Did the American minutemen force the British redcoats to retreat from Concord Massachusetts?
Yes and no. The British didn't expect the colonists to shoot back and weren't prepared for the day. Their ultimate goal was to collect a storehouse of weapons in Concord. Dressed in wool uniforms on a humid hot day, with wet boots from wading onshore from boats before the march to Lexington they got blisters, they ran out of ammunition, and had a lack of water. Some went mad after seeing friends get shot and because of the conditions. The colonists followed them back to Boston shooting behind fences and trees with each shot. The British thought that it was against battle form to have the colonists shoot, move, shoot. Look for the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie based on the book April Morning. It gives a good sense of the day and what may have happened. Pay close attention to how the British march into Lexington that morning and imagine you are standing on the green as they come into the town.

In the American revolution where did the minute men start to fight back?
The start of the revolution was April 1775 in Lexington and Concord when the British marched to find a stockpile of powder and weapons in Concord. The first shots were fired in Lexington when 77 men and boys waited on the village green for the British that morning. No one knows who fired that shot, but it resulted in some of the Lexington men dying, houses being burned and ransacked by the British before they moved on to Concord. Word got out what had happened in Lexington and by the time the British got to Concord colonists were waiting for them. Another event happened at the Concord Bridge where more shots were fired. The British retreated, but all the way back to Boston the colonists fired at them from behind trees, rocks, and the fence that bordered the road. Some of the British troops went mad seeing friends wounded, or killed. It was a hot day and the troops worn wool uniforms, had wet boots from landing in Charlestown in boats, and they had no water or food that day. The British were not prepared for what happened that day. It will be another year before the Declaration of Independence is written in 1776 and the battle of Bunker Hill.

What was paul revere's role in the fighting at lexington and concord?
WRONG ANSWER BELOW Revere never made it to Concord and NEVER would have yelled "the British are coming " EVERYONE was British. In 1860 Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. The poem was to remind Americans of a shared history. This poem somehow has been allowed to be considered historical fact and put in schools history books. It is NOT history but a use of one event as a foundation for a poem. Revere for his part arrived to Concord late in the day after he was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken from him. Dr. Prescott is the only one who got to Concord before the British.
