293 Words2 Pages

The period known as Starving Time took place during the winter of 1609-1610.

    The First Shots The American Revolution commenced with an explosive start in 1775, in Lexington, Massachusetts. Gunfire was exchanged between British soldiers and American militiamen, leaving men from both sides wounded, and for an unlucky few, dead. This event has been remembered throughout history, preserved in personal accounts and history texts, but what we have always been uncertain of is this: who fired the first shots? Accounts differ; some insist the British fired first, some say the Americans did, and some say they couldn’t really tell.
