On April 19 1775 the British were marching to Concord to arrest several of the Son's of Liberty and to find illegal guns/powder. Enroute a fight broke out at Lexington where 77 of the village men waited for them on the village green. A shot was fired and several men died that morning and the troops moved on to Concord.
