In the Revolutionary Period of America's history, the April 1775 battles of Lexington and Concord provoked diverse reactions among American colonists. Some reacted with apathy, some were surely filled with fear about what would happen next, while others (Loyalists) reacted with disapproval of the American hostilities. The most influential group, however, reacted with fervent patriotism: in support of the Americans who stood their ground at those first battles of the Revolution, they took up arms and otherwise prepared to join the War for Independence.

In the battle of Concord and Lexington, the Patriots were outnumbered but after the battle, they ambushed the British soldiers. Though they lost, they felt proud that they killed many on the ambushed.
