[Vision2020] Huh?

[Paul Rumelhart]

Certainly there were many reasons leading up to the conflict, but the spark that set everything off was when the British troops went to Concord via Lexington to confiscate the military supplies cached at Concord.  You remember "the shot heard round the world", and "Paul Revere's ride"?  The shot was at Lexington where the British troops were trying to disperse the crowd (and possibly disarm them).  Paul Revere's ride was to Lexington to warn the leaders there that the British were on their way.  The cache of weapons and other military supplies at Concord had been moved weeks earlier since the rebels had had good intelligence about this possibility.


So what he said was essentially true.

Paul
