According to legend, he said "The British are coming, The British are coming," but modern historians have questioned whether that is actually how he phrased it. For one thing, there was no United States yet, so the colonists were in fact British. For another, Revere was making a ride in secret to warn the colonists to be ready, and it is doubtful he shouted out any warnings that might attract unnecessary attention. Thus, while he certainly did warn the colonists, it is doubtful he said "The British are coming."
Paul Revere rode his horse to warn the American colonists that the British troops were advancing. This event took place on the night of April 18, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. Revere's famous midnight ride alerted the colonial militia and helped them prepare for the battles of Lexington and Concord.
They might have sent three riders instead of one so that if one is caught,there are still two more people left to warn the colonists.
