Mercy granted to an offender

In legal terms, "clemency" can take various forms. 
... It may take the form of a reprieve, which suspends the carrying out of a criminal sentence to allow the offender to seek ways to have the penalty reduced. (Usually this would be in the case of a death penalty sentence.) This would be the example of "a delay in carrying out a sentence."
... It may be commuting a sentence, which leaves the conviction in place but lessens the penalty.  So, for instance, a long prison term is commuted to a shorter time in prison.
... It may be the granting of a full pardon.  In that case the "legal forgiveness for a crime" description would fit, but not all acts of clemency are pardons.

How did geography play role in the battles of Lexington and concord
serg [7]

Answer:

After the British arrived in Boston, they set out on a course toward Concord, Massachusetts, to capture rebel leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock and destroy the colonists' supply of weapons and ammunition. Their first stop was in Lexington, where the battle on April 19, 1775, started the war. Geography helped the colonists gain an advantage over the British and built confidence in their fighting ability.
