Britain and General Gage sent troops to Lexington and Concord to confiscate colonial military supplies and arrest revolutionary leaders, including Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This military action was aimed at suppressing the growing resistance against British authority in the American colonies. The movement of troops ultimately sparked the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, as colonial militias confronted the British forces.

The April 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord featured two main groups of combatants. On one side stood regular troops of Great Britain, popularly known as 'redcoats,' while on the other side stood American 'minutemen,' or militia troops, who had gathered from nearby towns and villages to do their best to square off against Britain's well-trained infantry.
