Did the American minutemen force the British redcoats to retreat from Concord Massachusetts?
Yes and no. The British didn't expect the colonists to shoot back and weren't prepared for the day. Their ultimate goal was to collect a storehouse of weapons in Concord. Dressed in wool uniforms on a humid hot day, with wet boots from wading onshore from boats before the march to Lexington they got blisters, they ran out of ammunition, and had a lack of water. Some went mad after seeing friends get shot and because of the conditions. The colonists followed them back to Boston shooting behind fences and trees with each shot. The British thought that it was against battle form to have the colonists shoot, move, shoot. Look for the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie based on the book April Morning. It gives a good sense of the day and what may have happened. Pay close attention to how the British march into Lexington that morning and imagine you are standing on the green as they come into the town.

Why do you think john adamsand josiah Quincy agreed to defend the british soldiers that were involved in the Boston massacre?
Everyone deserves a defense in a court of law. What if they were not guilty? I don't believe they were. After all, the American Patriots were screaming at the squad of British Soldiers who were guarding the tea warehouse, and started throwing stones and other things at them. The British were very, very scared. There were more Patriots than British soldiers. The soldiers that had been in the military for a while understood clearly that their instructions were to NOT shoot any Patriots. Well, one of the British soldiers turned out to be a teenager who had never seen combat and, in fact, had been in the British army for only a short time. He panicked and fired at the Patriots, hitting one of them and killing him. That sounds a lot like self-defense, I think.
Did the British shoot the gun?
