On the 19 of April 1775 at Lexincton and then at Concord.
The British were marching from Boston to Concord to destroy American weapons and at Lexincton they encountered Minutemen, someone shot, a "shot heard around the world", some Americans died in the battle, then at Concord the British lost a considerable number of people and had to withdraw.

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.
