Beginning of the American Revolution
The Revolutionary War began on April 18th, 1775, when British troops stationed in Boston, Massachusetts marched to take ammunitions and to kidnap Samuel Adams in Lexington and Concord. However, Paul Revere and two others saw that the British were coming and warned the minutemen in both Lexington and Concord. This allowed the minutemen time to prepare to battle against the British. The Battle of Lexington resulted in an American loss, but the Americans successfully defended themselves against the British in Concord the morning of April 19th.

In May, forces under Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys captured Fort Ticonderoga from the British. The same day (May 10th), the Second Continental Congress convenes in Philadelphia. The first major engagement was in June, when American forces on Breed's Hill where they battled the British in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Although the American forces were defeated, the British force lost 40% of their troops. It was a morale win for the Americans.
