What role did paul revere play in the American revolution?

Answer 1

Paul Revere is known for the ride he made to warn the "rebels" of the approach of the British. This was before the American Revolutionary War began and the leaders were making plans to revolt against the British government. He made several rides to various communities. His most famous was his ride that began late on the night of April 18, 1775 to warn of the British march to Lexington and Concord to capture the leaders of the revolt. This lead to the first battle that was a prelude to the Revolutionary War.

Answer 2

He watched out for the arrival of the British troops and upon their arrival, he rode among the colonists. There was a famous poem written about the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

Paul Revere's Ride

Henry Wadsworth LongfellowListen my children and you shall hear

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,

On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;

Hardly a man is now alive

Who remembers that famous day and year.

He said to his friend, "If the British march

By land or sea from the town to-night,

Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch

Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--

One if by land, and two if by sea;

And I on the opposite shore will be,

Ready to ride and spread the alarm

Through every Middlesex village and farm,

For the country folk to be up and to arm."

.

So through the night rode Paul Revere;

And so through the night went his cry of alarm

To every Middlesex village and farm,---

A cry of defiance, and not of fear,

A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,

And a word that shall echo for evermore!

For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,

Through all our history, to the last,

In the hour of darkness and peril and need,

The people will waken and listen to hear

The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,

And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
