What is the significance of battle lexington and concord?

The battles of Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the American War of Independence.

Explanation:

The battles of Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the United States War of Independence on April 19, 1775. The battles started an open war between Britain and its thirteen colonies in North America.

About 700 British Army regular soldiers, led by Francis Smith, were ordered to intercept military supplies stored at Massachusetts militia in Concord. The patriots had received intelligence about the British's prospective search weeks before the ruling, and they shipped almost all supplies to safety.

The first shots were fired in an incident in Lexington, where the advance of the British Army led to the escape of a subordinate militia. Another incident occurred on Concord's old bridge, where patriots fought against three British companies. The ranks of the British army broke up and escaped from the battlefield, pursued by the militia.
