Lexington and Concord April 19, 1775

The Battles of Lexington and Concord marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. British troops wanted to capture leaders of the Sons of Liberty and seize weapons. Paul Revere and William Dawes rode horses to warn the colonists which helped John Hancock and Samuel Adams escape. Other minutemen hid the supplies. In Lexington, Britain didn’t plan to fight. However, there was chaos and someone fired “The Shot Heard Around the World!” British forces outweighed the militia so Americans fled to Concord and gathered more men. When the British army arrived, they searched the town for weapons with little success. The American militia overpowered Britain which caused them to retreat. They marched back to Boston as Americans followed and continued to attack.

Second Continental Congress

By May of 1775, tension between Britain and America was rising. British troops were determined to arrest Patriot leaders and kill minutemen (well-trained militia groups ready to fight in a minute) who got in the way. Redcoats were swarming around Boston. The Second Continental Congress decided to convene in Philadelphia, PA. The issues were not just about declaring independence anymore. Now they needed to create a Continental Army to defend the country from bloodshed. George Washington was assigned to be the Commander- in-Chief. The Second Continental Congress also agreed to print money to pay for supplies.

Battle of Ticonderoga May 10, 1775

Fort Ticonderoga is on Lake Champlain in northeastern New York. During the French and Indian War, this location was important to reach Canada and the Hudson River Valley. In May 1775, Ethan Allen (with the Green Mountain Boys) along with Benedict Arnold led a surprise attack on the fort at daybreak. The British soldiers were sleeping so they were unprepared. The Continental Army was able to capture the fort with ease. Although it wasn’t a large conquest, it was the first American victory and they gained artillery essential for future battles.

Battle of Bunker Hill June 17, 1775

The Battle of Bunker Hill occurred shortly after the war began on the outskirts of Boston. Patriots heard that the British were coming to take over Bunker Hill and Breeds Hill. Britain wanted to use the hills to bombard Americans from a distance. Patriot troops crept onto the hill and worked all night building a fort to defend themselves. They were exhausted and hungry. American Colonel William Prescott said, “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” The British attacked and the Americans fought hard. Patriots eventually had to retreat because they ran out of ammunition. The British gained the hill, but they lost twice as many men.

Funny Fact:

Most of the battle

took place on

Breeds Hill but it is

called the Battle of

Bunker Hill because

the army thought

they were there.

Congress approved the Olive Branch Petition, a final appeal to the king to reconcile with the colonies. Most American delegates were still loyal to King George III and pleaded with him to resolve the issues peacefully. The king refused and even hired Hessian mercenaries (paid soldiers from Germany) to control the colonists. Cries for independence grew stronger and some of the members of Congress were wanted for treason. With a peaceful solution not hopeful in the near future, it was inevitable that a declaration of independence would be adopted in the summer of 1776.

Battle of Quebec December 31, 1775

Patriot forces under Colonel Benedict Arnold and General Richard Montgomery hoped to capture the city of Quebec that was under British control. They hoped this conquest would gain support for the American cause. Their strategy was to have each troop strike a different wall in the city. It was early morning under snowfall when the troops attacked. Unfortunately, the British defenders were armed and ready. British casualties were minimal whereas close to 400 Patriots were captured, injured, or killed. Montgomery lost his life and Arnold got wounded in the leg. This fateful battle became the first major loss for the Americans.

Common Sense 1776

Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine and became the most popular pamphlet in the colonies. It was the first written request for independence from Britain. It attacked the laws formed by the Parliament and was written in plain language so he could reach all the common people.

Battle of Trenton Dec 26, 1776

The Continental Army led by General George Washington crossed Delaware on Christmas Day. For ten days, they battled in the freezing cold with British forces. Although Hessian mercenaries were warned of Patriots approaching, they were exhausted and unprepared for the attack. The tough garrison of Hessians were defeated. Then the Patriots retreated and returned later to force British soldiers south. Next, they marched at night to capture Princeton. Once again Patriots were victorious. Americans now controlled much of New Jersey. They only suffered seven casualties (five were wounded and two were frozen to death). British troops suffered a greater loss with 918 captured, 92 injured, 400 escaped, and 22 killed. American troops soon shared a sense unity and morale throughout the colonies was heightened.

Battle of Saratoga September 19, 1777

The Battle of Saratoga was two battles - the Battle of Freeman's Farm and the Battle of Bemis Heights. General Gates led the American Forces with the help of General Arnold. He relieved Arnold of his duties after an argument and Americans lost the first battle. Although the British forces were exhausted, they continued to advance. Gates led a successful defense, however, Arnold came back to lead them into an aggressive attack which caused the British troops to surrender. The Battle of Saratoga is considered the turning point in the war. Americans proved that they were dedicated enough to defeat the well-trained British forces. France soon gave Americans support for independence.

Valley Forge December 1777-June 1778

Valley Forge was not a battle. It was a camp close to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the Continental Army. In this picture, General Washington and Marquis de Lafayette came to check on the troops. The men didn’t have the proper clothing for freezing temperatures. They were in rags and some were shoeless. They were also suffering of starvation. Many men died over the six-months of encampment. However, the men that survived this hardship were disciplined and committed to their purpose.

It sank on September 25th. Fortunately, John Paul Jones didn’t give up and continued fighting. He then captured Serapis!

Battle of Charleston March 29, 1780

The Battle of Charleston, SC took place because British troops turned to the south after getting defeated in the north. 600 slaves were ordered to build forts to help protect an invasion of Charleston. The large British army landed on the coast between Savannah and Charleston. Savannah was easily captured and the Americans were unsuccessful at regaining control. There were too many loyalists and powerful British forces. Then British troops marched overland and seized Charleston along with close to 5,000 Continental soldiers. It was the greatest loss for the Americans in the war and gave Britain control of the south.

Battle of Kings Mountain October 1780

Following the Siege of Charleston and the defeat at Camden, the British commander, General Cornwallis, was confident in his decisions. In September, he invaded North Carolina and sent Ferguson to gather men from Allegheny Mountains to join their mission. Ferguson resorted to threatening loyalists. This tactic forced an armed body of men from settlements in Tennessee to join Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina militia. They searched and found the British soldiers encamped on the top of King's Mountain. It only took them an hour to kill, wound or capture every British soldier. This forced General Cornwallis to retreat from Charlotte, North Carolina  and proved to be a morale boost to the American troops.

Battle of Cowpens January 17, 1781

The American forces sent more troops to the south where they encountered British troops at the Battle of Cowpens, SC. The Continental Army was still outnumbered and barely prepared. When the British forces attacked, the militia was instructed to leave the front line after firing two rounds. This confused the British troops so Americans attacked aggressively. The result was a mass surrender with more than 800 British troops either killed, wounded or captured. This American victory was a huge morale boost and turned the tables in the south. It convinced the British troops to go back up north.

The result was a mass surrender with more than 800 British troops either killed, wounded or captured. This American victory was a huge morale boost and turned the tables in the south. It convinced the British troops to go back up north.

Battle of Yorktown August-October 1781

The Battle of Yorktown was located in VA. The Continental Army learned that the British were heading north so they raced to trap them by land and sea. France allies defeated a British fleet trying to bring supplies to Cornwallis. Then the French and American troops surrounded British forces at Yorktown to keep them from fleeing by land. They slowly moved in on them. With no supplies and nowhere to escape, Britain was forced to surrender. The above illustration depicts Cornwallis surrendering to Washington on October 19, 1781. Americans won their independence!

Treaty of Paris September 1783

The Treaty of Paris was finally signed almost two years after the Battle at Yorktown. Britain's King George III was not ready to give the colonists their independence even though he couldn’t win the war. Three representatives (John Adams, John Jay, and Benjamin Franklin) were sent from the colonies to Britain to work out the terms of the peace treaty. It took them a great deal of time and discussion to convince the king that America would not sign a peace treaty unless it included their freedom from British rule and the acceptance of the American allies..
