What happened at the Battle of Lexington and Concord?
On April 19, 1775 in the colonial town of Lexington the first shot was fired. Seventy-seven of the men waited on the town green for the British. No one knows who fired the first shot, but before the British moved on to Concord several colonists were dead and houses burned.
Where were the first shots fired in the American revolution?
Although eyewitnesses disagree on how it happened and who fired first, the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired at the Battle of Lexington, in the early morning of April 19, 1775.The 'battle" was actually a skirmish when British soldiers enroute to Concord came across armed colonial militiamen. After a brief exchange of fire, the Americans dispersed. It was not until later in the day that Minutemen, warned by Revere, Dawes, and others, routed a force of Redcoats at the Battle of Concord. These separate battles are often considered as a whole as the first open conflict in the war.
Who won thwe battle of lexington and concord?
No one at Lexington. The shots were fired and a skirmish followed, but the troops moved on after a bit to Concord. By the time they reach Concord the whole area had the news about the shots being fired at Lexington. At Concord Bridge shots were fired and again a skirmish followed. Yet, the colonist followed the British all the way back to Boston firing shots at them all the way. I would say they had the upper hand against the British.
What are example of ways Patriots tried to change the British Political system?

Who led the battle of Lexington and concord?
No one led the battle of Lexington. It was an event that just happened and history does not report who fired the first shot. The British were enroute to Concord when they found the 77 colonist on the Lexington green. Someone fired the first shot and soon a battle began. When it was all done the British reorganized and continued their march to Concord.
