Lexington and Concord was the most important event because the colonists showed the british that they were willing to die for their inalienable rights and they proved to the british that they were not weak. Lexington and Concord started on April 18,1775 and ended on December 1776.I think this was significant because it shows that the Americans can win even without many supplies and weapons. -
