__** BATTLE AT LEXINGTON AND CONCORD **__  In April 19, 1775. The British and American troops fought at the  Battle at Lexington and Concord. The americans fought because the British wanted to take away the minutemen’s guns. The battle started with the British coming and saying don’t shot till they shot first then a shot was heard and then people starting shooting and then the minutemen fled. In the end the British were forced to retreat and the weapons hide out were saved. something i thought was important to know was that  no matter where you look you will not find out who shot the first shot no one knows even the people that were there.
