On the 19th of April 1775, colonists were hiding firemarms and gunpowder and were also preparing for an attack. When the British soldiers learmed of this secrest stash of weapons and ammunition, they moved in to claim them.
The colonists suddenly started to get into formation when they heard of the British that were moving towards a small town called Lexington to attack. The two opposites met but there is no evidence for as to who it was that fired first.
A colonist would say it was the British and a British, a colonist. They both wanted to blame the other. But one thing is clear and that is when the shooting began, the colonists were the first to flee from the attack.
