19, 1775) At
the Concord North Bridge, a small group of
militia battled a force of British
soldiers. At this point, the British
commander decided to retreat back toward
Lexington, as it became evident that more
and more Minutemen were arriving from all
of the local villages and
farms. During
this retreat, the British kept to the
road, while the American farmers fired at
them from behind trees, walls and any
obstacle they could find. When the British
force returned to Lexington, they were met
by a relief column. The combined British
units then headed for Boston. The
Minutemen continued to harass them the
whole way. By
the end of the day, British casualties
numbered 273, while the colonials suffered
only 94, 18 of which fell during the
initial clash at Lexington. The American
Revolutionary War had
begun. Revolutionary
