Two Hundred and Fifty Year’s Ago, April 18th and 19th, 1775. The Battles of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, kicked off the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Tensions had been building for many years between residents of the 13 American colonies and the British authorities, particularly in Massachusetts. On the night of April 18, 1775, hundreds of British troops marched from Boston to nearby Concord in order to seize an arms cache. Paul Revere and other riders sounded the alarm and colonial militiamen began mobilizing to intercept the Redcoat column. A confrontation on the Lexington town green started off the fighting and soon the British were hastily retreating under intense fighting. This was a defining moment in American history, a moment that enabled our troops to prepare for battle and the first major military campaign of the American Revolutionary War. [history.com& etc.]
