Pertempuran Lexington dan Concord (Inggris: Battles of Lexington and Concord) adalah pertempuran pertama dalam sejarah terjadinya Perang Revolusi Amerika.[9][10] Pertempuran ini pecah pada tanggal 19 April 1775, di County Middlesex, Provinsi Teluk Massachusetts, di kota Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (sekarang Arlington), dan Cambridge. Pertempuran ini menandai dimulainya konflik bersenjata antara Britania Raya melawan tiga belas koloninya di Amerika Utara.

Pada akhir tahun 1774, para pemimpin Kolonial mengadopsi Suffolk Resolves dalam melawan tindakan pemerintahan Massachusetts, karena parleme Inggris telah mengubah pemerintah kolonial Massachusetts oleh parlemen Inggris. Majelis kolonial menanggapinya dengan membentuk pemerintahan Patriot sementara yang dikenal dengan Kongres Provinsi Massachusetts dan menyerukan milisi lokal untuk melatih kemungkinan permusuhan. Pemerintah Kolonial menjalankan kontrol yang efektif terhadap koloni di luar Boston yang dikuasai Inggris. Sebagai tanggapan, pemerintah Inggris pada bulan Februari 1775 menyatakan Massachusetts berada dalam keadaan pemberontakan.

Sekitar 700 Angkatan Darat Britania Raya di bawah kepemimpinan Letnan Kolonel Francis Smith diberi perintah rahasia untuk menangkap dan menghancurkan markas militer Kolonial yang dilaporkan disimpan oleh milisi Massachusetts di Concord. Melalui pengumpulan Intelijen militer yang efektif, Patriot para pemimpin telah menerima kata minggu sebelum ekspedisi bahwa persediaan mereka mungkin berisiko dan telah memindahkan sebagian besar dari mereka ke lokasi lain. Pada malam sebelum pertempuran, peringatan ekspedisi Inggris telah dengan cepat dikirim dari Boston ke milisi di daerah tersebut oleh beberapa pengendara, termasuk Paul Revere dan Samuel Prescott, dengan informasi tentang rencana Inggris. Mode awal kedatangan Angkatan Darat dengan air ditandai dari Gereja Utara Lama di Boston untuk Charlestown menggunakan lentera untuk berkomunikasi "satu jika melalui darat, dua jika melalui laut".

Catatan kaki[sunting | sunting sumber]

  1. ^ a b Coburn, p. xii
  2. ^ The exact number of militia on the field for the conflict is a matter of debate. Fischer (notes on p. 400) cites contemporaneous counts and those of other historians of between 50 and 70 militia, and states (p. 183) that Sylvanus Wood, in an account taken 50 years later, recalled only counting 38 militia. Coburn (p. 60) identifies 77 individuals by name that mustered for the encounter.
  3. ^ Chidsey, p. 29 estimates the colonial force at 500 by the time the confrontation occurs. Coburn, pp. 80–81 counts about 300 specifically, plus several uncounted companies.
  4. ^ Chidsey, hal. 6. This is the total size of Smith's force.
  5. ^ Coburn, hal. 64. This force is six light infantry companies under Pitcairn.
  6. ^ Coburn, hal. 77 and other sources indicate "three companies". Chidsey, p. 28 gives a company size "nominally of 28".
  7. ^ Coburn, hal. 114 gives the size of Percy's force at 1,000. This count reflects that estimate plus the departing strength, less casualties.
  8. ^ a b Chidsey, p. 47 recites all casualty figures except MIA. Coburn, pp. 156–159 recites by town and name the American losses, and by company the British losses, including MIA (from Gage's report). Chidsey, Coburn, and Fischer disagree on some American counts: Chidsey and Fischer count 39 wounded, Coburn 42. Fischer, pp. 320–321 also records 50 American KIA vs Chidsey and Coburn's 49.
  9. ^ French, pp. 2, 272-273
  10. ^ A controversial interpretation holds that the Battle of Point Pleasant, six months earlier, was the initial military engagement of the Revolutionary War. Despite a 1908 United States Senate resolution designating it as such, few, if any, historians subscribe to this interpretation.[1] Diarsipkan 2018-02-22 di Wayback Machine.
