How did the American Revolution begin? The battles of Lexington and Concord started the war. They revealed how much both sides had in common. Both the colonists and the British believed their cause was just. Both hoped the other would give in quickly. But both were prepared to fight if necessary.

The battles between the colonists and the British sent shock waves throughout the colonies. Colonial leaders held the Second Continental Congress to make decisions about how to proceed. Lexington and Concord What was the Colonies Response?

What was on their Agenda? Defense: The delegates established the Continental army and chose George Washington as its leader. Congress decided to pay for the army by printing paper money, an important power of government.

Some delegates wanted to declare independence. Others still hoped to make peace. The delegates were divided, however, about what actions to take next.

These early divisions among the delegates reflected the divisions among the colonists themselves. Patriots Favored independence and were willing to fight for it Loyalists Remained loyal to Britain and the king Write this information down below as pictured..

No one knew how the untrained American volunteers would hold up against the tough British soldiers. But the Americans held off two attacks, losing a third only after running out of ammunition. The British won the battle but lost many troops.

After a difficult journey the cannons arrived, and Washington finally drove the British out of Boston. Washington sent for the cannons that had been captured at Fort Ticonderoga.

They controlled the most powerful navy in the world, giving them an advantage in troop numbers and supplies, but also allowing them to blockade American ports. They hired mercenaries to help fight. After a failed invasion of Canada, the Americans knew they were facing a long and difficult struggle.
