Transcription: The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775 at Lexington, Massachusetts. There, colonial troops known as Minutemen skirmished with British redcoats in the first battle to gain independence from England. Five and a half years later, having fought on land and at sea, the makeshift Patriot Army defeated the British. Their surrender signaled the birth of the United States of America. Erica.
