During the War: Lexington and Concord

     On April 18, 1775 a man named Paul Revere rode on horseback through Lexington and Concord. He was shouting "The British are coming! The British are coming!" to warn the townspeople. These people all got weapons and gathered at a nearby hill. Near dawn of April 19,1775 the "minutemen", townspeople, could see British troops approaching. They ambushed the soldiers: they weren't successful. Britain shot back. In the end, seven townspeople died where as only one British troop got injured.
