What happens when a midnight ride and a few gunshots change the course of history? In this episode, Lexington and Concord, we follow the tense standoff of April 1775, when British troops marched to seize colonial weapons—and found themselves face-to-face with determined militiamen. The "shot heard 'round the world" turned protest into open war, as farmers and townsfolk stood their ground against the empire's army. What began as a search for supplies exploded into the first battles of the American Revolution. If you've ever wondered how a clash on village greens and country roads ignited a fight for independence, this episode takes you right to the dawn of revolution.
