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.
