  7. Lexington & Concord

    In Mid-April of 1775, the first official war battle took place between the Brits and the colonists in towns surrounding Boston, particularly Lexington and Concord. The minutemen (colonists) showed up at Lexington with a measly 70 soldiers. They British told them to retreat, being obviously outnumbered and all. As they retreated, a lone gunshot went off, now known as The Shot Heard Round The World. No one to this day knows who shot it.
    The British went onward to Concord, where 300 minutemen were ready to fight. They killed 73 redcoats and wounded 200.
