Battle at Concord
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.

Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . .
