B. The patriots supported colonial independence.

Explanation:

  • The first shots were fired at Lexington at dawn. Militias were outnumbered and forced to withdraw, and British troops continued on to Concord, where they were looking for supplies.
  • At the Old North Bridge in Concord, about 500 American fighters defeated three British troops. Numbered British soldiers retreated from US positions after the open air battle.
  • More American fighters soon came to an end and inflicted heavy losses on the British as they retreated to Boston.
  • Upon his return to Lexington, Smith's expedition was saved by reinforcements led by Brigadier General Hugh Percy. The combined forces, now numbering about 1,700, retreated to Boston under heavy fire and arrived safely at Charleston.
  • The assembled US militias blocked the narrow land access Boston and began the siege of Boston.
