Battle At Lexington/Concord
A series of acts
condemned on the colonists's behalfs caused them to rethink their alliance with
Britain. In retrospect, however, the seven-year debtline of the French Indian War, failures to alliance with frontier Native Indians, and the Boston Tea Party insurrection compelled British forces to impose the Intolerable Acts, which deteriorated the lower house of Massachusetts government. Citizens retaliated by consisting their own militia, a civil-service army, and distributing them around loyalist cottages. One daunting night, however, when a British general tasked 4000 troops to obliterate the weapons of the patriotic members, the soldiers preceded to maximize their field guard and centered the town of Concord, where sooner than later, British bands met. The unknown shot that triggered befell terror on both sides, and rampages soon stringed out onto the Americans, wounding dozens, of which 8 died.
