Also, I've usually heard Lexington and Concord as being the first battle of the Revolution, so I was a bit confused by the answer of Boston for that one
For Boston, I was thinking of the Boston Tea Party. I'm obviously not American, so maybe I'm wrong about it, maybe it's more of a 'prelude to the revolution'.
Completely forgot about the Bering Sea, I kept trying to type in the Caribbean Sea.
Also, I would personally switch the Cascade Range with the Smoky Mountain Range, but that's not my place to judge.
