Why did 700 british soldiers march from Boston to concord in April of 1775?

In April 1775, approximately 700 British soldiers marched from Boston to Concord to seize and destroy colonial military supplies stored there, as tensions escalated between Britain and the American colonies. The British aimed to suppress the growing rebellion by targeting key resources and arresting colonial leaders, including Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This military action ultimately sparked the Revolutionary War, as colonial militias confronted the British troops, leading to the first battles of Lexington and Concord.
