      This is the first colony that was part of the first battle of the American Revolution. Captain Gage had ordered his troops to get the gunpowder that was in the basement of a church. He had ordered his men not to start a battle. They did anyway.

      This is true, !!!! The men probably decided to start the battle themselves. why, because the son's of liberty started throwing and saying a bunch of things to the soldiers and that was what got them aggravated.

      The first battle was in Lexington then in Concord. The Sons of Liberty had made a plan, when they found out what the British were planning, and had told Paul Revere to warn the Minute Men and the Militia if the British were comming by land or sea. When the British had come they found first 40 Militia in Lexington and then 20,000 Militia in Concord.

      He was the general who had won the Battle of Saratoga. He also hated G.W. in the beggining because like Lee he wanted to be the commander of the Continental army. But unlike Lee, Gates became friends with G.W. Gates looked down on G.W. and thought he was superior to him. But in the end G.W. earned his respect.

    Gates' results in command were much less satisfactory than his term as adjutant. He never got to command the Canadian Department, since the American Invasion of Canada had been abandoned before his arrival. He wound up as an assistant to General Schuyler in the Northern Department.

    Gates' wife Elizabeth died in the summer of 1783. Gates retired in 1784 and again returned to Virginia.

    During the French and Indian War, Gates served General Edward Braddock in America. In 1755 he accompanied the ill-fated Braddock Expedition in its attempt to control access to the Ohio Valley. This force included other future Revolutionary War leaders such as Thomas Gage, Charles Lee, Daniel Morgan, and George Washington.

    Horatio Gates was discrased. He abandoned his men on his horse and ran away so fast his men could not catch up to him. Washington would never do that. Horatio Gates is nothing as a general compared to Washington.
