Warning the Americans that the British were marching to Concord were the trio Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott, of the famous “Midnight Ride.”
he said the british are coming the british are coming
No. He said "The British are Coming!"
Paul Revere said it to warn the colonies that the British were invading.
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 .
Paul Revere. He said two arms, two arms, The British are coming
They said this in 1775.
Dawes(last name) and Revere said "the Regulars are out"(not the british are coming) throughout the countryside of New England.
It's been attributed to Paul Revere, but the actual words were supposedly "The Regulars are coming out" - then as people took liberty of the recounting of the story, became "the British are coming" or "The Redcoats are coming". Both "Regulars" and "Redcoats" were names for the British Army troops. He wouldn't have said "The British are coming" as many believe, because many fighting with the British Army during the Revolution where British themselves.
This phrase is attributed to Paul Revere on his legendary midnight ride. He supposedly said it to warn patriots of the eminent British invasion of the American Revolutionary War. However, he never said it. What he actually said was, "The Regulars are coming out."
Paul Revere.
He was out riding his horse when he was stopped by a british patrol on the same night that Paul Revere had rode out to warn of the coming of the british. Simon was questioned as to whether or not he was out to "warn the minutemen" and he said no, although he was still forced to go on with the british.
No one knows exactly what he said, but I think his exact words were, "The Regulars are coming out!" Or "The British are coming!"
