Frank T. Merrill, North Bridge, Concord, 1775 (oil painting, 1909). The Battles of Lexington and Concord began on April 19, 1775, with the shot heard round the world at the North Bridge and Lexington Green

The Lexington Alarm announced, throughout the American Colonies, that the Revolutionary War began with the Battle of Lexington and the Siege of Boston on April 19, 1775. The goal was to rally patriots at a grass roots level to fight against the British and support the minutemen of the Massachusetts militia.[1]
