During the Revolutionary War, the colonists still thought of themselves as British. British soldiers were called "the regulars". Paul Revere was a silversmith who came galloping along in the middle of the night to warn that the British soldiers were coming. The guard told him to stop making so much noise. Revere responded by saying "Noise? You'll have noise enough before long. The regulars are out."
Contrary to popular belief, he did not say "The British are coming!" Also, Paul Revere did not single-handedly ride on horseback to warn residents of the British attack. There were 60 riders who spread the word that night. One man alone could never have covered such a distance, even on horseback.
The whole ride fable comes from a Longfellow poem. This includes the signal.His most important thing is the flier of the Boston Massacre. He drew the event and it was mainly Propaganda made to incite the colonist against the British.Revere was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken. He never finished the ride, but two men did. They were named Prescott and Dawes. In 1861 Revere came to fame through a poem written by Longfellow on the eve of the civil war. He was trying to write about patriotism and remind people that they were one nation. This poem has been used as history and it isn't.

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 from Rev. John Larkin and was named Brown Beauty. Larkin refers to it in his will. 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.

This is history. So we have facts, not assumptions or opinions. I think you should stick to the fact that Paul Revere was the man who rode A LOT of miles to warn many town's people that the, "British are coming! The British are coming!" I really don't think it is important to know if he was a trouble maker. That's what Paul Revere was famous for, and that's what you should be knowing.

The British officers captured Paul Revere when he was trying to warn his people and he had to leave his horse because the British said so. The British officers captured Paul Revere when he was trying to warn his people and he had to leave his horse because the British said so.
April 18, 1775, Paul Revere and other colonists learned of the British plan to capture John Hancock and Samuel Adams and to raid the colonists military supplies, so they rode ahead and alerted the minutemen.
Paul Revere was born in Boston on January 1, 1735 (according to the modern calendar). So, he got to Boston that way, rather than by other modes of travel. :)
