General Norman Schwärzkopf was the general.
The Battles of Lexington and Concord<span>, fought on April 19, 1775, kicked off the American Revolutionary </span>War<span> (1775-83). Tensions had been building for many years between residents of the 13 American colonies and the British authorities, particularly in Massachusetts.</span>
By 1775, the Americans were prepared to engage in war with Britain. As the Americans felt they had been violated and cheated by the British, they were furious.
Hope this helps.
Brutus is good friends with Caesar so Cassius used/tried flattery instead
