American Revolution Events

By KS22

  • Lexington and Concord

    Lexington and Concord was so significant because it was the first battle between the colonists and the British troops. The Battle of Concord proved to the British that the American army was not just a band of unorganized rebels, but an army that deserved respect.

  • Fort Ticonderoga

    Fort Ticonderoga was important and significant because it served as a morale booster and provided key artillery for the Continental Army in that first year of war. Cannons captured at Fort Ticonderoga would be used during the successful Siege of Boston the following spring.
