Answer 1

To determine which event would correctly match the first date on the timeline, we need to consider the chronological order of these historical events:

1. The Battle of Lexington and Concord (April 19, 1775)
2. The Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776)
3. The Battle of Saratoga (September 19 and October 7, 1777)
4. Cornwallis Surrenders at Yorktown (October 19, 1781)

Assuming the first date on the timeline refers to the earliest event, the correct answer would be:

The Battle of Lexington and Concord.
