User:919tswells/Battle of concord and lexington

The battle of Concord, and Lexington all started when the British came up with a plan. They secretly were going to ride there horses up to Concord and Lexington and attack so they could have more land for the british. George Washington overheard their plan and rushed back to Concord, and Lexington to warn the people to get ready for a attack and to warn the Minute Men to get ready. Minute Men were men that were said could be ready to fight in a minute or less. It was also said that Minute men could win a fight in one minute. So when the British came to accomplish their brilliant raid the Minute men were armed and ready to fight for their town. The fight took about 3 hours and finally the British won. But the British had about 5,000 soldiers killed and everyone else was badly injured. So the British came back to britain to tell the king about there many losses, but how it was all worth it for the land, and the king agreed.http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_media.png
