• DESCRIPTION: After a painting by Alonzo Chappel. Engraved by W. J. Edwards.<br><br> That fateful day, often remembered as the "shot heard 'round the world," marked the transition from colonial agitation to full-scale armed conflict. The events at Lexington and the North Bridge in Concord demonstrated that the localized militia could effectively stand against the professional British Army.<br><br> By the time the British retreated to Charlestown, they had suffered roughly 273 casualties, compared to the 95 casualties sustained by the Americans, signaling that a return to peaceful British rule was no longer possible.
