No. At Lexington and Concord there was resistance by the local people to illegal and unjust actions of the British government. The regulars of the British army had no authority to steal private firearms nor to kidnap private citizens. Their occupation and blockade of Boston, to include their seizure of ships there was illegal and unconstitutional.

Independence had not been declared, and the rights of the citizens were being attacked. The local militia had been called to defend the citizens from that illegal and unjust military action.

Only after a year of England making war on the various colonies, was independence declared. I recommend you read the Declaration of Independence to read why. It is all laid out there for you, to make up for your lack of schooling.

As is the legislation enacted by your apparent friend and ally,Osama Obama,to blockade my access to health care and the seizure of my money to pay fat a$$ed Rat Party hacks to dole it out to me if and when I'm deemed worthy.King George III never went to *that* extreme.Not even when his brain cells were wracked by the effects of porphyria.
