Please help with this! Due 11:59! I added 50 points! Well-prepared militia companies in Massachusetts were known as 1. .
General Thomas Gage ordered 2. and his troops to go to 3. to
destroy all the artillery and ammunition. When Dr. Joseph Warren saw British troops
march out of Boston on the night of 4. , he rushed to alert 5. and
William Dawes. Revere and Dawes then rode to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams
and 6. . In Lexington the redcoats came across a group of about 7.,
and the fight for independence began. Along the road from Concord to 8. ,
colonists fired at the British, wounding at least 174 and killing 73.
More Military Action
On May 10, 1775, a small group of New Englanders, known as the 9. ,
led by 10. captured the British Fort Ticonderoga at Lake Champlain.
Committees of 11. sent out calls for volunteers to join the militias. In June
1775 redcoats charged militia members on 12. . The colonists ran out of
13. and withdrew, but the British suffered heavy losses. The 14. did not consider unfair taxes and regulations sufficient cause for rebellion. The
15. , however, were determined to fight for independence.
