Answer:

The Battle at Lexington came before the Battle of Yorktown. The Battle at Lexington was actually the first battle of the Revolutionary War. This battle occurred in April of 1775, while the Battle of Yorktown occurred in.The revolutionary era is generally considered to have begun with the passage of the Stamp Act in 1765 and ended with the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights in 1791. The military phase of the revolution, the American Revolutionary War, lasted from 1775 to 1783.

Explanation: The Battles of Lexington and Concord on 19 April 1775, the famous 'shot heard 'round the world', marked the start of the American War of Independence (1775-83). Politically disastrous for the British, it persuaded many Americans to take up arms and support the cause of independence.
