This isn’t the first time you’ll see a statement like this, but the bottom line is: the history books aren’t 100% correct. Sure, the Shot Heard Round The World was at Lexington and Concord. But that’s not where the fighting started.

Nearly two weeks before Concord, there were small battles going on in Assonet, Massachusetts, near the Rhode Island border.
