019 The American Revolution: Lexington and Concord Pt II

We begin where we left off with the previous episode - the
British march to Lexington and Concord. After defeating the
militia on the village green of Lexington, the British continued
their march to Concord. Failing to find a great deal of
munitions, the militia struck back. As the British began
their retreat back to Boston, their column was met with
constant sniping from local militia all the way back to the city.
News spread quickly through the colonies, galvanizing a movement
toward revolution. With the creation of the Continental Army and
the appointment of George Washington as its leader, war had
begun.
