The militia stopped the British troops at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775. These engagements marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, as colonial militia confronted British forces attempting to seize colonial military supplies. The confrontation at Lexington is famously known for the "shot heard 'round the world," symbolizing the start of armed conflict between Britain and its American colonies.
