Who really fired the first shot at Lexington? 🔫⚖️ Was it the British Army, marching to seize colonial supplies? Or the Lexington militia, standing their ground? Both sides swore the other pulled the trigger first. Witnesses contradict, propaganda muddied the water, and even decades later, memories of the event shift with pride and politics.

It’s funny that you guys chose a trial format for this episode since I was called for jury duty for the first time last week lol.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that for the purpose of significance, it doesn't even matter who shot first here. Things had already boiled to a point that the matter of who exactly pulled the trigger first doesn't matter since both gunmen had already drawn their pistols. For all we know the "shot" could have been some powder someone sparked by packing it too much in their musket while both sides were ready and aiming. The significance of the shot isn't who fired it, it's that country and colony were officially at war, and that similar fights could come to anyone.
