About this episode
The episode discusses the events surrounding the shot that ignited the American War for Independence at Lexington and Concord.
It was the “shot heard round the world”, the spark that officially set off the American War for Independence. But on that cold morning, neither the colonial militia nor their redcoat opponents were looking for a fight. So how exactly did an unplanned confrontation become the opening volley of the Revolution? Robert Orrison, author of A Single Blow: The Battles of Lexington and Concord, explains. ▶️ Watch more episodes of 5-Minutes Videos at: https://l.prageru.com/4lCX76A Want to learn more?
