The first American victory came at the Battle of Concord, which followed the skirmish at the Battle of Lexington, on April 19, 1775.
British forces from Boston, who were out to confiscate weapons in Concord, fired against a small group of militia gathered in Lexington, closer to Boston. As the British continued east and searched Concord, riders (including Paul Revere) had alerted the colonial militia, which fired upon and routed the British. As they fled back to Lexington with their main force, the Redcoats were joined by a rescue party, and the entire column was pursued and fired upon enroute back to Boston by a force of up to 3800 militiamen. With the arrival of thousands more of the Minutemen from the area, the Siege of Boston began.
