The Battle of Lexington, which took place on April 19, 1775, marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. It occurred in the town of Lexington, Massachusetts, between British troops and colonial militia known as Minutemen.

In the early morning, British troops, under orders to disarm and capture colonial rebel leaders, were met by a small group of about 70 colonial militia on Lexington Green. The exact circumstances that led to the first shots fired are still debated, but the encounter resulted in a brief exchange of gunfire, leaving eight colonists dead and several others wounded. The outnumbered and outgunned militia quickly dispersed.

Following the skirmish in Lexington, the British continued their march to Concord, where they intended to seize colonial weapons and supplies. As news of the fighting spread, colonial militias mobilized and engaged the British troops again at the North Bridge in Concord. This second clash was more significant, with the colonists successfully driving back the British and inflicting casualties.

The Battle of Lexington marked a pivotal moment in the American Revolution, as it was the first armed conflict between the colonial militia and British regular troops. It sparked a wave of resistance and inspired further acts of defiance against British rule throughout the thirteen colonies.

The battle's significance lies in its symbolic value as the opening engagement of the Revolutionary War, demonstrating the colonists' determination to defend their rights and liberties against British oppression. The events of that day ultimately led to the escalation of hostilities, the formation of a Continental Army, and the pursuit of independence by the American colonies.
