The identity of the person who fired the first shot of the American Revolution is not definitively known, even among historians.
However, British soldiers fired the first volley at the North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, even though there was no official order to do so.
This volley was considered the shot heard round the world and marked the start of the American Revolutionary War.
