The British commander at Boston had received intelligence that arms had been stockpiled at Concord and sent a small force to confiscate or destroy those stockpiles, on the evening of 18 April 1775.
These troops first encountered resistance to their march on the morning of the nineteenth at Lexington green. After the short battle at Lexington they marched on through Bedford to Concord where they found and destroyed the arms. Shortly after, or during this destruction, they came under attack from Minutemen and militias from nearby towns. These "rebellious" troops continued harassing the army all the way back to Boston.
