Episode Description from the Publisher

In the towns of Lexington and Concord, an important event in American history took place. It was April 1775, and tensions were high between the American colonists and British soldiers. The British wanted to take away weapons from the colonists, but the colonists were ready to stand up for themselves. Early one morning, the two sides met in Lexington, where the first shots of the American Revolution were fired. The battle then moved to Concord, where the colonists forced the British to retreat. This event showed the courage of the American colonists and marked the beginning of their fight for independence. 👉 Try your risk-free trial of Greenlight today: ⁠www.greenlight.com/bedtimehistory⁠ 👉 Upgrade your bedding with Quince for free shipping and 365-day returns: ⁠⁠⁠www.quince.com/bedtimehistory 📖 Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of 1776 and checkout our newest audiobooks on Spotify (Part 1 and Part 2) 🎉 Check out our new show, Bedtime Safari! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📢 ⁠⁠Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! 📺⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 500+ YouTube Videos
