Answer:
Battles of Lexington and Concord
Explanation:
In the face of all the oppressions that Great Betenha put on the thirteen colonies, many settlers already thought that their problems with Britain could not be solved by peaceful means. They prepared to fight and formed groups of soldiers called minutemen ("man-minutes"), militiamen who should be ready to fight "with just a minute's notice."
In April 1775, Britain sent a force to expropriate the military supplies from the settlers of Concord, Massachusetts. Americans Paul Revere and William Dawes rode the region to warn the settlers of the imminent arrival of British soldiers. On April 19, a group of minutemen faced the British in Lexington, a town on the way to Concord. After a brief fight, the British advanced to Concord. Another group of American soldiers forced them to retreat. The battles of Lexington and Concord began the United States War of Independence.
