The resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which took place on April 19, 1775, marking the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. It highlights the historical context leading up to the battles, including the growing tensions between Great Britain and its American colonies, particularly in Massachusetts, due to oppressive taxation and military rule. The resolution recounts the events of that day, including the mobilization of colonial militias in response to British plans to seize weapons, the confrontation in Lexington, and the subsequent skirmish in Concord, which ultimately demonstrated the resolve of American citizen soldiers against the British army.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the significance of these battles in transforming colonial discontent into a unified determination for independence. It acknowledges the courage and determination of the American patriots and quotes John Adams, who recognized the pivotal nature of this moment in American history. The resolution calls for the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas to officially commemorate this important anniversary, honoring the legacy of the events that shaped the founding of the United States.
