The United States Congress decreed that The First Battle of the American Revolutionary War was in Point Pleasant Virginia on September 10, 1774, where Colonel Andrew Lewis Defeated the Indian Cornstalk's Army. This followed the Indian raid and murders in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The Indians had been supplied by Governor Guy Carlton of Quebec. Later in the War, George Washington sent an army to capture Quebec and sent Ethan Allen with secret orders to kill Guy Carlton but that failed.
