  • After the American troops retreated from Lexington, the British marched to the nearby city of Concord. While some British soldiers burned a few weapons that they found, the others were faced with awaiting minutemen.

They hid behind trees on the British troops' ride home and fired! 73 people died, and 174 or more were wounded.
