Step-by-step explanation:

The Continental Congress:

Delegates from every colony except Georgia attended the Continental Congress in September 1774. At the gathering, Patrick Henry stated, “I am not a Virginian, but an American.” The most important decision delegates made concerned armed opposition to Great Britain. A resolution was passed to form a militia.

The First Battle:

Well-prepared militia companies in Massachusetts were known as minutemen. General Thomas Gage ordered Lt. Col. Francis Smith and his troops to go to Concord and destroy all the artillery and ammunition. When Dr. Joseph Warren saw the British troops march out of Boston on the night of April 18, 1775, he rushed to alert Paul Revere and William Dawes. Revere and Dawes then rode to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock. In Lexington, the redcoats came across a group of about 70 minutemen, and the fight for independence began. Along the road from Concord to Boston, colonists fired at the British, wounding 200 and killing 73.

More Military Action:

On May 10, 1775, a small group of New Englanders, known as the Green Mountain Boys, led by Ethan Allen captured the British Fort Ticonderoga at Lake Champlain. Committees of correspondence sent out calls for volunteers to join the militias. In June 1775, redcoats charged militia members on Breed's Hill. The colonists ran out of gunpowder and withdrew, but the British suffered heavy losses. The Loyalists did not consider unfair taxes and regulations sufficient cause for rebellion. The Patriots, however, were determined to fight for independence.
