his sights on the countryside of Massachusetts. After receiving permission from

England to use force against rebel Americans if necessary, the British designed

a harrowing mission to capture and confiscate a cache of illegal patriot

firearms stored in the tiny village of Concord. While the British prepared

their march, rebel leadership fled for their lives and a Patriot leader named

Paul Revere spread his message straight into history. At the end of the day the

American rebellion had taken a bloody turn as they and their imperial masters

clashed in not one, but two terrible battles. On this episode we discuss the

battles of Lexington and Concord.
