The battle of Lexington and Concord 

In April 19, of 1775, General Thomas Gage sent troops to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This was because he found out they had their arms stockpiled. When this happened they could not capture both of them because a friend of theirs, Paul Revere had come in horse and warned them of what was coming so they left. The troops Thomas sent, took the arms. Later after the fight the british found out they had escaped.

Militia are full time farmers and part time soldiers. At the time of the battle these gathered at Lexington Green and were ready for war. 

There also were the minute men who were ready to fight in about a minute, this was a great dissavantage for the enemies because they had more time to put thereself in a good position to attack. In terms of being ready is to be changed, with weapons and a mentality to attack strongly. They were told to leave but, a shot was fired. It is very important to understand what happened with this shot.Ralph Waldo Emerson was a famous poet who called the Battle of Lexington the shot heard around the world. Ever heard about the shot that the entire world heard? Well, this one is it. Not because the entire world heard it, but because of the reaction it caused. When the Militia heard the shot, the war began.  

At the end of the day, those who lost were the british cause they lost about 200 men. The Minute Men, who were Americans that had that nickname because of their ability to fight in a minute, were very helpful. They were waiting at Lexington Green to attack. When the shot was fired, which by the way is unknown by whom, the British troops and the Minutemen began to fight. The battles of Lexington had taken away a lot of lives, from the British, and from the colonists as well. There is a memorial of the Minutemen at Concord, Massachusetts for the big gesture of loyalty towards their country.
