Question

why were the americans more successful at the battle of concord than at the battle of lexington? choose one option a the british were standing in straighter lines. b the british were wearing brighter red coats. c the americans used guerilla - style fighting tactics. d the americans had more help from indians.

Explanation:

At Lexington, colonial militias faced British regulars in more conventional open combat and were forced to retreat. At Concord, colonial fighters used guerrilla-style tactics: they ambushed British troops from hidden positions like trees and stone walls, leveraging their knowledge of the local terrain to inflict casualties and disrupt the British advance, leading to a more successful outcome. The other options are irrelevant: British formation/coat color did not cause the difference, and Indian aid was not a key factor in this specific contrast.

Answer:

C. The Americans used guerilla-style fighting tactics.
