The Revolutionary War unofficially began at the Battle of Lexington and Concord, when a company of militiamen ambushed a British column marching to Concord to seize a supply of arms the Americans had been holding in that city. Fighting did not begin immediately after the battle, because both sides were more concerned with preparing themselves for the war that was upon them than actually trying to strike a follow-up blow. The official beginning of the war was when America declared its independence on July 4, 1776, making the conflict more than just a struggle for rights: it became a struggle for independence.
