Two reasons why the minutemen were ready to confront the British in Concord, Massachusetts:
1) Advance warning: The minutemen had received advanced warning through Paul Revere's famous midnight ride on April 18, 1775. Revere, along with other riders like William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, spread the news about the British troops' movements towards Concord. This allowed the minutemen to prepare and gather in anticipation of the confrontation.
2) Stored weapons and ammunition: Concord was known for being a center of military supplies for the colonial militias. The minutemen were well aware that British forces were targeting the arsenal and supplies stored in Concord. In order to protect their weapons, ammunition, and other military provisions, the minutemen rallied together to defend their stockpile from the British troops.
