Answer 1

Britain's General Gage had a secret plan. During the wee hours of April 19, 1775, he would send out regiments of British soldiers quartered in Boston. Their destinations were Lexington, where they would capture Colonial leaders Sam Adams and John Hancock, then Concord, where they would seize gunpowder.

Answer 2

Answer: The battles of Lexington and Concord were the first clashes of the United States War of independence, which occurred on April 19th, 1775 in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Arlington and Cambridge. These events marked a point of no return in the war between the kingdom of great Britain and the thirteen colonies in the context of British North America. Around 700 regular British army soldiers, under the command of Lt. Col. Francis Smith, proceeded to capture and destroy some military positions that were supporting the militia in Concord. Dr. Joseph Warren alerted the colonies of this, who had planned that movement weeks before and had saved both people and material objects. They also learned the exact plans of the British attack the night before April 20th.
