The Revolutionary War

The name of the commanding General of the British troops in Boston was George Washington.

The British Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Smith failed horribly in his objective of destroying the stores at Concord and Lexington.

The name of the other man who left Boston the same time as Revere and with the same message was William Dawes

John Hancock believed George Washington was going to be the first General-in-Chief of the continental army?

The objective of Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the expedition, into the countryside was to find Paul Revere

The commander of the Lexington Militia when they made their "stand" on the Lexington Common was Capt. John Parker.

The British fired first when the British marched on Lexington.

The British troops were told to sell the ammunition they found in Concord to the colonials

After the battles many militia from other colonies arrived and surrounded Boston and the British troops in Boston. Approximately 20,000 troops of the militia gathered there

Before the battles and afterwards there was a spy for the British that the colonials trusted. That spy was Charlie Watson.
