 * REBELS SIDE**
 * On April 17 1775 one shot was all it took, to start the Revolutionary War. Us minutemen were standing our ground lined up ready to fight. The wise words of Captain John Parker still in our heads; "Don't fire unless fired upon. But if its a war they want let it begin here!" As we stared down the British we kept that in our head. Then one of those lobsterbacks shot their gun to start the fight. We had to defend ourselves so we started firing too. The teeth clenching battle was very exciting. Eventually we had to give up and scatter in the woods, but they know we won! We killed 273 of their men while we only lost 94 men. It was a battle well fought we thought next time we will show those British chumps whos boss.**
 * WITNESSES SIDE**
 * On the 17 of April 1775 I witnessed an amazing battle of skill, death, and gunshots. The British, had just came back from marching, and saw the minutemen standing in a line. The minutemen had a fierce look in their eyes, so did the British. After what seemed like hours of standing there staring at each other, BANG! a shot went off in the air. Nobody seemed to know which side it came from so both sides started firing. After a terrifying fight the colonists ran off into the woods. The battle looked even, but the British lost 273 and patriots lost 94 men.**
