The Battle of Lexington and Concord

The Battle of Lexington and Concord, occurring on April 19, 1775, signaled the beginning of armed conflict between Great Britain and its thirteen American colonies. These critical engagements, collectively known as the Battles of Lexington and Concord, sparked the Revolutionary War, igniting a determined struggle for American independence. As tensions rose due to British taxation and control, the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord came to symbolize resistance.

Key figures included British General Thomas Gage, charged with quelling colonial unrest, and colonial leaders like Paul Revere and William Dawes, who famously rode to alert the militia of approaching British troops. The confrontations involved local militia members, known as Minutemen, ready to resist British forces at a moment's notice.

The immediate causes stemmed from growing tensions between the American colonies and British authorities. Taxation without representation, enforcement of the Intolerable Acts, and a rising military presence fueled resentment. The British aimed to seize colonial weapons in Concord, prompting the Minutemen to mobilize in defense of their rights and freedoms. This clash symbolized the colonists' determination to resist perceived tyranny and sparked the flames of revolution.
