Peyton Randolph was the President of the Continental Congress, ruling over the United Colonies in 1775. Although his tenure was brief, lasting only a few months, it coincided with the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The most significant war during his rule was the Battle of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, which marked the beginning of armed conflict between the American colonists and British forces. This war, along with subsequent battles such as Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston, shaped the early stages of the revolution and set the stage for the eventual independence of the United States.
