  13. The Road To Revolution • The Intolerable Acts threaten all the colonies • Committees of Correspondence call for a “Continental Congress” • Delegates from 12 out of 13 colonies come to Philadelphia in September of 1774

  15. Lexington and Concord Farmers and townspeople had begun gathering weapons and ammo Train as “Minutemen” Can only respond to British aggression

  16. Lexington and Concord • British Commander in Boston is General Thomas Gage • He believed that his army was too small to do anything significant • He receives orders to arrest both Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and that they are in Lexington, MA • He is also told that there is a stash of weapons in Concord, MA

  17. Lexington and Concord • Gage wants to avoid as much trouble and bloodshed as possible • Decides to send 1,000 troops out of Boston on the evening of April 18th, 1775 • This is where the committees of correspondence come into play

  18. Lexington and Concord • The Midnight Riders • Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott • “The Regulars are coming” • Revere and Prescott are both apprehended; Dawes makes it the countryside and back

  19. Lexington and Concord • When the British arrive at Lexington there are roughly 70 minutemen waiting for them • Quick fight, nothing that seems real significant, but this will ultimately be the first battle of the Revolution • British will then march to Concord, but they don’t find any weapons • Set fire to the town, but they have no idea what is waiting for them

  20. Lexington and Concord • Minutemen have lined the roadways all the way back to Boston • They will use guerilla warfare tactics on the British • Chase British all the way back to Boston • Lexington was basically a trap to set up the events at Concord
