What happened at Lexington and Concord was the American Revolution. Minuteman waited for British to arrive at Lexington Green. The Brits wanted the militia to drop there weapons and disperse although the Militia wanted to talk with the British on the subject. The Brits didn't want to talk so they marched on forward towards the Militia. One of the minuteman shot their pistol from outside the green. This signaled the British to start shooting and then the battle at Lexington took place. Many of the minutemen ran away and others got shot down and killed. What happened at Concord was that the Militia ambushed the Brits from a narrow pathway and another battle took place.


 * Topic:** I think that the Revolutionary war wasn't inevitable
 * Evidence Analysis:** It wasn't inevitable because the colonists didn't have to pick a fight with the british and could of just payed the sugar act in the first place. Then when they revolted, the British enforced the stamp act which only caused the colonists to revolt even more. Then the brittish passed the Townshend Acts which made the colonists "lose it" and start the war which all could have been prevented in the first place if the colonists just payed the stamp act.
