The Battle of Lexington and Concord

The battle of Lexington and Concord left the British with about 270 casualties, and the Americans with 90 deaths. It was a HUGE British fail because when the British retreated back to Boston, the American militia shot at the British with a surprise attack. This was considered the war that had "The shot heard around the world." Also it encouraged a spirit of revolt in the colonies.
