| Out to destroy colonial stores of gunpowder, about 700 British soldiers under General Thomas Gage set out for Concord, Massachusetts, April 19, 1775. They met a force of about 70 well-trained minutemen in Lexington. Shots were fired, and the 8 colonists who died were the first casualties of the American Revolution. | ||||||
