The Beginning of the American Revolution. “Stand your ground, don’t fire unless fired upon; but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here!” Famous words by Captain john Parker, just before someone (a British solider, but no one really knows who fired the shot) fired a shot heard round the world. Lets go back to April 18, 1775 night before this happened Paul Revere, William Dawes, warned the town of Lexington that the British are coming.
