According to the journal entry, which is an accurate statement?

A journal entry from 1775. It reads, 'I was awakened around one in the morning on the 19th of April by a loud bell and shouting. I knew what this meant: British troops were on their way! I quickly got dressed and grabbed my gun. I joined other members of my militia in Lexington to await the redcoats. We lined up close to the road and waited. At dawn, we saw the redcoats marching towards us. There were hundreds of them. I was nervous. I'd never shot at anyone before and knew that it might come to this if the troops kept moving forward. One of them shouted at us to go home and they started angrily moving towards us. Our company started to scatter, to take cover behind trees and fences. I was not sure what the British troops would do next! There were so many of them, and so few of us. The redcoats continued to move towards us and began shooting at us! From behind a tree, I started shooting back. My heart was racing. I couldn't believe that the British soldiers would actually fire on us. We are just farmers and townsmen defending our freedoms, defending ourselves against this aggression.

The colonial militia were cowards.
The British troops were reluctant to fight.
The colonial militia was formally trained.
The British troops were well-disciplined.
