Revere had no part in the battle of Lexington. He was to warn the men in Concord that the British were coming to collect the guns/powder stored there, but enroute to Concord he was arrested by a British patrol outside of Lexington. His horse was taken from him and the man who did do the ride was a Dr. Prescott along with another man named Dawes. The only reason we know about Revere is because in 1861( nearly a 100 years later) Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. This was on the eve of the civil war and Longfellow meant the poem to tell a story about the start of the United States not to give factual history. The poem has been taken as fact and put in history books. It is not fact. The only part of it that is true is that Revere left Boston on the night of April 18, 1775.
The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure Propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.
He didn't play any role.The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming.
