I just got some bad news. First off, we miserably lost at Lexington, 8 casualties our side and 1 wounded British side. The British marched onward. Plus, more bad news. Paul was arrested while trying to warn the men at concord. However, they were still warned by Samuel Prescott.
At concord, all of the weapons had been hidden. In frustration, the Redcoats began setting fire to buildings, and the Minutemen retaliated, beginning the Battle of Concord. They won, and the redcoats retreated, suffering many casualties on the way.
