Introduction Paragraph:
In April 1775, the American Revolutionary Wars first battle had begun. In The Battle of Lexington and Concord, British soldiers were sent out to capture two important colonial rebellion organizers Sam Adams and John Hancock but the British were unsuccessful. The British's goal at Concord was to destroy their military supplies and seize their gun powder, the Battle Of Lexington and Concord was known as the "Shot heard round the World". The Battle of Saratoga was the turning point in the war, The colonists were successful in keeping the British from splitting the colonies down The Hudson River. Since the Colonists were successful in defeating the British in the battle, the French decided to become allies with the colonists providing financial aid and navy support. Both these battles showed that the rag tag Colonist soldiers were able to withstand the British's professional soldiers and defeat them. The Colonists were fighting for their freedom and that's exactly what they did. The American Revolutionary War lasted for six years, however the colonists were able to come out victorious and achieve their goal of becoming independent which can be proven by the acts, people, battles, and major event of the American Revolutionary War.
