Battles in Lexington and Concord

Lexington and Concord both are cities located in Massachusetts. On April 19, 1775 Britain's General Gage had a secret plan. He send British soldiers quartered in Boston. He provided the war and ordered the army to leave to Lexington and Concord. He sent troops to Concord to destroy guns and ammunition stored by colonists, and to Lexington to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. He thought that the best way for his plan to be successful was to keep it as a secret. Which it didn't work because  the secret was spread out. The colonist immediately get the notice and saw that the British army was in the move.
 

         Paul Revere, William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott were horseback riders in Lexington. They warn everyone in Lexington. John Adams and John Hancock noticed about that and immediately move to other place. The army couldn't find them, so they decided to move to Concord. Not just them, Revere, Dawes and Prescott also leave. When they were in the way the British soldiers stop them, Dawes and Prescott could scape but Revere couldn't and he was held for some hours.  

           While the Britians where in Lexington, the colonist in Concord were waiting for the British forces. When they arrived the first thing they saw was a group of militia mens. At the instant someone shot their guns and then the British started shooting their guns. The result of the shooting led 8 colonist without life and 10 other injured. After that, they started looking for the weapons in wich they had other short battle with some militians. The Bristish went back to Boston, and the fight for freedom began.
