c-span: what happened at lexington and concord in massachusetts? >> guest: the british knew that the continentals, the colonials, had some military stores at concord, and the british commander in boston, general gage, decided that he had to go out there and either bring them away or destroy them. boston was a powder keg at this point. the boston massacre had occurred. there were british troops stationed in the city, and everybody was very, very jittery. so gage decided to go to concord to capture these stores and bring them back or, as i said, destroy them. this was when paul revere made his famous ride of warning people how the british were coming and what road they were taking and all that. so they marched up towards concord, which is west of boston not very many miles, and when they got to lexington green, which is the town just before concord, there was the local militia arranged on the green. the local militia commander had no intention of trying to stop them because he was vastly out-manned, but he just wanted to get out there to let them kno
