British Brigadier Lord Percy on April 20, 1775 (one day after the battles of Lexington and Concord) said that "We retreated for 15 miles under constant fire, which like a moving circle surrounded and followed us wherever we went. Whoever dares to look upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself much mistaken. The Patriots have men amongst them who know very well what they are about."

What does Lord Percy's quote say about the training of Patriot Militia and Minutemen? Use evidence from the text to support your answer. USE TEXT EVIDENCE PLEASE

Answer:

The quote is saying They went back after 15 miles because of constant fire, and they all were moving LIKE circles and they were surrounded and followed by the Patriots, and whoever sees them as improper, will be punished. They have men who know very about the Patriots.
