April 18, 1775. The first battle in the war took place that day, but Revere didn't hang lanterns nor did he finish the ride. These things come from Longfellow's poem The Ride of Paul Revere that was written in 1861 on the eve of the civil war. He was trying to remind readers of the history, but used poetic license in doing so. His poem has been taken as fact and it isn't.
