In 1775 General Thomas Gage, Commander if the British Force in the Massachusetts Colony, issued orders to the troops quartered in Boston, Massachusetts to march to Concord and and destroy the colonial military stores that were there. The reason the British were in Massachusetts in the first place was because the people of Massachusetts were very rebellious and have had many violent resistances against the British already. The secret orders that Gage issued were hardly a secret and some colonials knew about this movement a week before the British moved out. Both the British troops and the colonial militia meet each other at Lexington Green on the 19th of April, 1775. Suddenly a bullet whizzed

Spies warned General Thomas Gage of the British military that colonists were gathering weapons to fight against the British for their independence. (Waldman 5) On April 14, 1775 General Thomas Gage received covert orders from Britain capture colonial leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who had been provoking the colonists to rebel against the British for their freedom, as well as to capture and destroy the colonial rebels military supplies. Spies and friends of the colonial Patriots leaked out General Gage's plan. Through the late nights of April 19, 1775 General Gage sent 700 British Redcoats to Lexington green. The colonial Patriots had assembled a halt to try and slow the British's progression towards Concord. Both sides came into contact and stood their ground intensely. “Lay down your arms, you damned rebels, or you are all dead men!” (King 25) A shot was fired, (unclear still to this day what side shot first) and the Battle of Lexington and Concord had begun! Chaos back and forth between the two sides as they were firing at each other. When the smoke had cleared eight rebellious Patriots lay dead and nine were wounded, while the British Redcoats only had one injured. The British Redcoats

British troops reached Lexington, where the first shots were fired, “Shot Heard round the World”.

It was the year of 2032, the year of the wolves. Every sixteen years is the year of the wolf, where every human fears that they will be next to become one of them.

They are ruthless and cruel creatures, they are feared by all living things, for since their numbers have increased.

I exhale a long, frustrated sigh as I look around the old, battered up, brown and decaying café. It was amidst the start of the French Revolution, and circumstances were heating up. Everyone were in a small groups chattering away at nothing in particular as I stand at the slightly raised platform, waiting for the last few representatives to come. I, Pascal Beaumont, was the organizer of the raid that will be held at the Bastille, in Paris, on July 14, 1789. Tomorrow was July 14, 1789, the big day. Such an evil thing to do, some might think, but not in my situation. I was thirsty for revenge, for the blood that belonged to the royalty, for death. That rascal, King Louis XVI would pay for the lives he took from the peasants. They would never

The creaking of the wagon and steady clip-clop clip-clop rhythm of the horse's pacing gait relax Gaedbre; his mind wandering peacefully over the natural beauty around him.

He and Gulfaxi, his twin brother, were a matched pair who usually worked as a team, but this was a one horse job.

Almost twenty minutes had passed since Epsilon, Sabra and Malessica left the pub. Malessica was a bit upset thinking about innocent people who were hurt during the attack on the pub. Though she knew she didn’t have time to help the injured, she decided to try and forget about it, continuing to follow Epsilon. Malessica noticed Sabra, seemed a bit lost in thought, but she didn’t say a word. Moving towards an unknown destination, four police cars sped down the street past them, with sirens blaring. Malessica put her hands on her hood, covering her ears, waiting for the cars to pass them. Epsilon turned his head back, watching the police cars. He was upset knowing he wouldn’t be able to work there again.

When the British finally reached Lexington, the plan was to capture the leaders, Sam Adams and John Hancock. Then they would spread out to Concord and seize gunpowder. Luckily, the spies and friends of the Americans, spread the word about Gage’s plan, and saved the lives of two of the

On April 19 of 1775 a battle had just begun. Redcoats came marching down through fields, with one thought in mind, Get the ammunition. Did they want a fight? No. DId they get a fight? Yes. One bridge was a battleground to something much bigger than it ever expected. .

The three men immediately got up and went to the back of the tavern to the meeting room. It was there that John William saw Samuel Adams and John Hancock for the first time. The two had been hiding out in the town of Lexington for the past two weeks. They watched as Paul Revere relayed the message to the pair. After they finished their conversation Captain Parker walked back to the table that John William and Jasper were setting at and asked John William to gather all of the militia men in town and meet back at the tavern at
