The Minutemen began to fight back during the Revolutionary War at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. These skirmishes marked the first military engagements between the American colonists and British troops, as the Minutemen mobilized to resist British attempts to seize colonial arms. The phrase "the shot heard 'round the world" is often associated with these battles, symbolizing the start of open conflict in the quest for American independence.
