Like I said before, no one knows
who shot first at the battle of Lexington and Concord. A hymn by Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Concord Hymn, the farmers,
or soldiers fired “the shot heard around the world” at the redcoats. No one
knows who really fired. Once the fire was heard, the soldiers from either side
started firing in confusion.
Each side blamed the other for
firing, but the truth they both didn’t know who fired. An eyewitness was none
other than Paul Revere (again), who was detained but never arrested. He did see
the fight, but not who shot first. This mystery is still unsolved, but it did
have a huge impact on the Revolutionary War.
