There was a point at which guns were fired that really kicked off the American Revolution.
And I guess there's an element in which you talked about it's difficult to work out whether Lexington and Concord is a victory for one side or the other or a particular loss for either side.

It sounds like the American militia came out on top a little bit, but it must have felt important for them to portray this as a victory, as an early win against the British forces who normally would have seemed so undefeatable.

It's incredible, I think, when you look at some of these moments and this felt like you've said a couple of times, you know, this wasn't particularly anything unusual the British were doing. They were regularly performing these patrols. The militia had been around for ages. Paul Revere didn't do anything particularly novel.

It's incredible that all of this was able to turn into a moment that would spark a revolution. And I guess, as you mentioned earlier, that leans into this idea that we've had a century or more of tension that has been looking for the cork to pop.

Feels very much like no one who was on the ground in Lexington and Concord would have particularly felt like they had just started a revolution that was going to lead to the birth of a new nation. There'd been a bit of trouble, but it seems like you would never have guessed that that would be seen as the moment that began it all.

Assassin's Creed allows players to step into the Animus and to travel back through history and to live through some of these incredible moments. And I wondered if you could step into your own Animus and you could revisit any moment from Lexington and Concord around that 18th, 19th of April, where would you like to stand and what would you like to see?
