| Out to destroy colonial stores of gunpowder and arms, British troops under General Thomas Gage set out for Concord, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. They met a force of minutemen in Lexington. It is unknown who fired the first shot, but the two sides exchanged gunfire. With this exchange, the American Revolution had begun. | ||||||
