28: First Battles Flow Map

Battle of Lexington and Concord

• In April, 1775, General Thomas Gage sent British soldiers, led by Lt. Col. Frances Smith to take the weapons militias were storing in Concord Massachusetts

• This was a secret plan of Gage’s , but it doesn’t stay secret for long

• On April 18, 1775, Joseph Warren learned from a source inside the British high command that Redcoat troops would march that night on Concord.

Battle of Lexington and Concord

• Paul Revere and William Dawes, members of the Sons of Liberty, rode out to warn the militiamen that “The regulars are out!” in Lexington to alert them the soldiers were on their way

• They DID NOT say, “The British are coming!”

Paul Revere never shouted the legendary phrase later attributed to him (“The

British are coming!”) as he passed from town to town during his midnight ride on April 18, 1775. The operation was meant to be conducted as discreetly as possible since scores of British troops were hiding

out in the Massachusetts countryside. Furthermore, colonial Americans at that time still considered themselves British.
