Lexington, Concord, and...
#OTD in 1775 the Revolutionary War began at Lexington and Concord. British troops, on a mission to destroy military stores in Concord, Massachusetts engaged with provincial forces, beginning a running fight back to Boston.
On the same day Captain William Delaplace at Fort Ticonderoga reported on the arrival late the night before of the first reinforcements to the garrison in over a year. He voiced concern about room to house them and more that were expected.
In Boston, before the day`s fighting ended General Thomas Gage wrote to Guy Carleton, the Governor of Canada. Responding to the requests of the government of New York for troops to back up their militia in suppressing resistance in the New Hampshire Grants Gage told Carleton "to send the 7th Regiment to Crown Point, or Ticonderoga without delay."
By the end of the day the situation in America was dramatically different than it had been that morning, and the war would soon spread to Ticonderoga.
