apr 19, 1775 - Battles at Lexington and Concord

Description:

This was the first battle of the revolutionary war that actually only lasted about 15 minutes, during which 8 minute men were killed and 10 more wounded while only one British soldier was injured. They then marched on to Concord where they only found an empty arsenal. When they started to march back, 3,000-4,000 minute men had lined up and opened fire at them and killed many British soldiers. They went back to their camp in Boston that was now under siege by the colonists.
