So is it that moment, that building tension and that increasing difficulty and this higher presence of the British Army that explains maybe why this is the flashpoint, that you've got redcoats there and you've got people who are feeling the oppression increasingly and it becomes a literal powder keg as well as the powder keg they're looking for?

So before we get to the main event of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, could you talk us through some of the key people who are involved? Who is around the area at this time and who will be the key players in the conflict?

And so we have this famous ride on the night of the 18th of April. What then happens on the 19th? Can you talk us through these events? Because this is a moment that is going to become seminal in the American Revolution. We have the story of the shot heard around the world. How does the day of the 19th of April play out?
