Minutemen fought British regulars for the first time at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. These battles occurred on April 19, 1775, and marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. The confrontations between colonial militia, often referred to as Minutemen for their ability to be ready for battle on short notice, and British regular troops escalated tensions between the American colonies and Britain, ultimately leading to the pursuit of independence by the Thirteen Colonies.
