Known as "the shot heard around the world", Lexington and Concord started the shooting war between the British and the American Patriots. When British Major John Pitcairn arrived at Lexington, which was on the way to Concord, he found 70 American minutemen in battle formation at the town square. Pitcairn ordered the Americans to disperse but when they didn't move after the second order to do so, someone fired a shot. It is not known if the shot was fired by Americans or British. The British easily cleared Lexington and marched on to Concord. He found more Americans arming the bridge into the town so Pitcairn order the British to return to Boston. All the way back to Boston, the Americans sniped at the British from behind trees and rocks, inflicting serious injury to the British troops. When the Redcoats reached Boston, 250 had been killed or wounded. Lexington and Concord are considered the first battles of the Revolution. It was time for the colonists to determine which side of the fight they would join, Patriots or Loyalists.
