	Battles of Lexington and Concord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lexington men dispatched riders in all directions (except south to Waltham for unknown reasons), and Revere and Dawes continued along the road to Concord.
		However, in terms of supporting the political strategy behind the Intolerable Acts and the military strategy behind the Powder Alarms, the battle was a significant British failure because the expedition contributed to the fighting it was intended to prevent and because few weapons were seized.
		Today, the battle is often used--and misused--in rhetoric by those on both sides of gun control and Second Amendment issues in the United States.
