Concord- Henry (History)

After defeating the Americans at Lexington, the British split up to find the American weapons. When crossing a bridge in Concord, local farmers were very grumpy and shot a couple of British soldiers. There were 250 British soldiers, and they all ran away from being very scared. This was the first victory for the Americans in the revolutionary war.

This is a monument dedicated to the british red coat soliders who died at concord. Only a couple of soliders were killed by the colional militia at concord. By miles

Lexington Green (History)

The Lexington Green was the first battle ground for the American revolutionary war. Many American soldiers have never fought in a war. The war was in a very small battle, in which the war took place within 3 minutes. There were only 70 US soldiers and 700 British soldiers.

This is where the lexington battle was fought. It was about 70 patriots vs 700 british soldiers. The patriots stood their ground, but someone shot and this started the battle. Nobody knows who shot, or if anyone actually shot. 8 were killed, 10 were injured. The british cheered after the battle, and this got the patriots angry and started the real war.
