As the first armed conflict of the American Revolution, the Battles of Lexington and Concord ignited Massachusetts and showed the potential of citizen soldiers, relying on local organizing and knowledge of their home terrain, to confront the highly trained and professional British military. Fought primarily on Breed’s Hill just outside Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill was an early demonstration of American tenacity. Although the battle was a tactical loss for the Americans, heavy casualties forced the stunned British to rethink their strategy for the long war to come. Notable for the victory that followed George Washington’s risky and audacious crossing of the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey, the Battle of Trenton highlighted Washington’s ability to see opportunity in desperate times, rally his army, and save the revolutionary cause. In New York, the Battles of Saratoga halted a determined British campaign to divide the colonies. American resolve at Freeman’s Farm and Bemis Heights drew international support that ultimately secured independence.
