Under the British governance early Americans experienced many things among them lie intimidation, limitation, abuse of power, and fear. With every action and inaction that the British government took they gave early Americans every encouragement they needed to revolt. One of the most significant ideals of British governance that ferociously disturbed the early Americans was the British’s lack of toleration for an armed militia, (The Revolutionary Worlds of Lexington and Concord Compared, 2012). When a person’s right to safety and defense is stripped away a part of their peace goes along with it. This is why when the British Government fought against rebels at Lexington and seized their weapons the Americans fought twice as hard in Concord, (The Revolutionary Worlds of Lexington and Concord Compared, 2012). This historic moment not only shaped early America but also made an impact on our Bill of Rights and modern day. The right to bear arms is a part of the American identity because of the battle at Lexington. It has become a right given to us by the second amendment as well as our peace that was once taken
