Battle at Concord Slide7
Everyone moves inland
Dawes and Revere took different routes to tell the people in Concord the “British were coming”. Prescott met them there and continued on with the message. Powder Alarm- tactic used by the Rebels which included a network of widespread notification in times of an emergency by
using riders delivering messages, bells, drums, alarm guns, bonfires, and trumpets. This was used during the French and Indian war too.
They also used
Guerilla Warfare-
a tactic that included shooting the British from hiding places in the woods as they marched toward Concord. This gave an advantage on the American Militia because it weakened the British so they could defeat them later, at Concord. This was done at the retreat too, where casualties got up to 200. Slide8
