In 1775, where was the first battle of the American Revolution fought, when a thousand British soldiers met the Colonial Militia ?
Answer: B
The first battle was fought at Lexington.
On 19 April 1775, British troops marching from Boston to seize colonial military stores at Concord met the colonial militia on Lexington Green, where the first shots of the American Revolutionary War were fired. The fighting continued at Concord's North Bridge the same day, so the opening clash is known as the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
Boston was the British base and the scene of the later siege and of Bunker Hill (June 1775). Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement (1607), and Trenton was Washington's victory of December 1776, both outside the question.
