Battle of Concord

This is a second battle that lead to the 13 Colonies to the Independence and call themselves the United States of America.

 April 19, 1775, also the town of Concord was alerted of the British Redcoats by the Dr. Samuel Prescott, the bell rang to call in the Minutemen, several hundreds of these men were in a stand-by and started a slow march to the town center but when they saw the Redcoats they ran to go under some cover by the hilltop out of town. The British troops were searching two things: the destruction of the weapons and eat some breakfast. They searched many houses to destroy any weapon and purchase food to the colonists since it was approximately 7:30 in the morning. The militia thought that the Redcoats were burning their homes so they moved from their positions and hided in the town and opened fire the British returned fire and retreated to Boston but even if the Redcoats were running back to Boston the Minutemen fired against the Redcoats. They were angered by the militia because they didn't confronted them face to face instead of hiding and shoot.
