Hostilities between the American colonists and the British army did not begin in 1776. The seeds of the rebellion of one Great Britain's wonderful and wealthy colonies, the American colonies had been brewing many years. The world of today would have been radically different if the British had not lost the American Revolutionary War. In 1770, tensions between Bostonians and the British troops were high. The soldiers were constantly harassed. A crowd of Boston folks were forming a crowd around a small group of British soldiers. Believing their lives were in danger, the soldiers fired into the crowd. Five Bostonians were killed near Customs House. This was labeled the Boston Massacre and the soldiers were placed on trial.

The people of Boston (Aka the Patriots) had some pretty mean names for the British soldiers. They were called Redcoats due to their red uniforms, and Lobseterbacks because back then everyone hated lobsters and the uniforms were red. They also called them Regulars, Kings men, and other names still around today.
There were approximately 25,000 American soldiers that died in the American Revolution. The British lost around 20,000 soldiers during the war.

If Lexington you are referring to the American Revolution. Then the Battle on Lexington Green was the first skirmish of the American Revolution. The "shot heard around the world" was fired on April 19th 1775 when an unknown shot was discharged. The American colonists and the British soldiers not knowing who fired engaged each other in a fire fight which 8 militia men were killed and one British soldier was wounded.
The event of Lexington and Concord benefited the colonists. The events of April 19th were a huge victory for the Colonists. They prompted the British to go into panic mode, and bring in more soldiers. At the same time, the "American Cause" began to take on a new form around the country. American militias saw that they could beat the British, and at the same time the British saw they could be beaten.
