Answer 2

The correct answer is B) American victories in these early battles buoyed the spirits of the continental army to continue fighting.

The significance of the battles of Lexington and Concord was that these American victories in these early battles buoyed the spirits of the continental army to continue fighting.

These battles represented the beginning of the Revolutionary war. They were fought in April 1775. The British troops marched to Concord on April 18, 1775. Paul Revere was ready to tell the town that the British were coming and the colonists started to shoot at the British troops. The fight in Lexington initiated the hostilities of the Revolutionary War. The English had to retreat under heavy fire. That first victory buoyed the spirits of the continental army to continue fighting.
