Colonial Militia vs. British Regulars in 1775 (Minute Man National Historical Park)

April 19, 1775 - Colonial militiamen attack British troops along Battle Road Trail in Lexington, Massachusetts, amid open hostilities that began early that morning at Lexington Green with the "shot heard 'round the world." At dawn on April 19, about 70 armed Massachusetts militiamen stood face to face on Lexington Green with the British advance guard. An unordered "shot heard 'round the world" begins the American Revolution. A volley of British muskets followed by a charge with bayonets leaves eight Americans dead and ten wounded. The British regroup and head for their objective, an arms depot in Concord, destroying the colonists' weapons and supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, a British platoon is attacked by militiamen, with 14 casualties. British forces then begin a long retreat from Lexington back to Boston and are harassed and shot at all along the way by farmers and rebels and suffer over 250 casualties. The Battle Road Trail annual re-enactment seen in this video depicts these skirmishes. See also: The History Place - American Revolution (www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/index.html)
