You won’t believe what happened; there was a shooting in Lexington and Concord! General Thomas Gage heard rumors of colonists stocking weapons there, so he went with his troops to figure out if the gossip was true. When they arrived Paul Revere and William Dawes already warned the militias to hide from the redcoats. Then, someone shot there weapon and the battle began. However, of course, the British troops won and headed to Concord. Since the minutemen were more prepared this time, General Gage and his troops lost and fled. Even though there were just a couple casualties to this short battle I knew it would not be the last one.
