American Minutemen Fight to Hold Off the British Army at Concord Bridge by Frederick Coffay Yohn depicts the Battle of Concord, which occurred on April 19, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. The Battle of Concord, often referred to as the "shot heard 'round the world," was one of the initial conflicts of the American Revolutionary War. It followed the skirmish at Lexington, where British troops were marching to confiscate colonial militia's weapons and supplies. At Concord's North Bridge, colonial militia, or "Minutemen," confronted British forces, leading to the first shots of the war. The battle is significant because it was one of the first instances where colonial forces actively engaged British regulars, marking a clear escalation from protest to armed conflict. The American victory at Concord, where the British were forced to retreat, boosted colonial morale and demonstrated the resolve of the American resistance.
