The True story of Paul Revere




The Boston Tea party could have been avoided if the ships would have been allowed to leave back with their cargo to Brittan and the rebellious acts that followed could have been eliminated but they weren’t and so from that time forward many more demonstrations against England had come and gone and they were getting fed up with the colonist not obeying. Paul Revere will always be remembered as the man who rode his horse yelling “the British are coming” but how much do we truly know about what was really happening and where he was going because indeed he did have a target and somewhere he was going. Paul Revere’s main mission on the night of April 18th 1775 was to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the impending danger that the British soldiers were about to arrest the two men. Paul was caught on his way to the men in Concord by the British before he could tell them. People who had heard the message passed it along and soon enough Adams and Hancock knew what was happening and knew to get away. Paul Revere was a big part of the revolution just as big as many of the other men in my eyes because if he wouldn’t have warned them then we wouldn’t have had Samuel and John in the Continental Congress with their brilliant minds helping fight for our country.
