  2. Conflict turned into war when the minutemen and redcoats scuffled at Lexington and Concord. The march toward nationhood had begun.

  3. Terms to define: • green • accost • disperse • huzza • grenadier • minuteman • Yankee Doodle

  4. green • A green is a grassy lawn or common. Many New England villages have a green for public gatherings.

  5. accost • To accost someone means to approach and speak to or touch him or her -but not gently.

  6. disperse • Disperse means to break up and scatter. • “Disperse, you rebels, . . . Throw down your arms and disperse.”

  7. huzza • Huzza is an old-fashioned word for “yell.” It’s something like “hurrah.” The rebels were yelling at the British soldiers.

  8. grenadier • Grenadiers, dragoons, regulars, redcoats – they’re all British soldiers.

  9. minuteman • The American farmers were ready, and they grabbed their guns. They were called minutemen because they could fight on a minute’s notice.

  10. Yankee Doodle • The British made up the song “Yankee Doodle” to insult the Americans. After the battle, the Americans sang the song, “We’ll be Yankee Doodles and proud of it.”
