The Battle of Concord

BOSTON, MA By: Cheyanna Bayless

In Boston, Massachusetts on April 18th, 1975 the battle of Concord and Lexington took place. Troops were sent to Concord to incarcerate John Hancock and Samuel Adams, but they both already knew in advance that the British were coming. The night before, Paul Revere rode through the town warning everyone that the British were coming. “Minutemen”, also known as Americans who were ready to fight in a minutes notice were waiting at Lexington ready to attack. The Americans had been commanded not to fire unless they were fired upon, that if the British wanted a war, to let it begin. The Americans and the British both started to fire, so no one knows exactly who fired first. Many of the “Minutemen” started to get killed and wounded very badly, so the rest of them took route into the woods. The British Troops by the end of the day had lost 273 men, and the Colonists’ had only lost 94, the Revolutionary War had begun.

One of the leaders was Paul Revere. Paul Revere supported the Americans in the Revolutionary War. He was a shoemaker and owner of a small business in Boston when he was young, but when American was mourning for independence, he started becoming popular for riding around delivering messages on his horse. His most famous saying that most people know him for are “The British are coming! The British are coming!” or in another words, “The Redcoats are coming! The Redcoats are coming!” This saying was first heard at the battle of Lexington. He was also famous from paintings from the Boston Massacre; this was how he became the great messenger he was. He later died an unspecified cause in Boston, Massachusetts at the age of 83 years old.

During the American Revolution, women didn’t necessarily receive the attention they should have. Many women helped in several ways, such as maybe giving the soldiers water or a place to stay. Molly Pitcher is one of the many women who took the soldier’s water and even later took her husband’s place in the war. . . . . The Battle of Concord
