to capture Paul Revere
The objective of the British task force was a double one: capture the Patriot leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams and destroy the military depot established by the Continental Congress at Concord.
On the evening of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere was summoned by Dr. Joseph Warren of Boston and given the task of riding to Lexington, Massachusetts, with the news that regular troops were about to march into the countryside northwest of Boston.

No. The purpose of the expedition was to capture several cannon, other arms, and some gunpowder the British had heard the colonists had gathered at Concord, Massachusetts. They would not have minded getting their hands on Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who were hiding out in the countryside, and nearly surprised at Lexington. Paul Revere was a silversmith. His home and shop were in Boston. When the British set out on the expedition, he slipped out of Boston that night to spread word that the British were on the move.
British troops marched from Boston into the countryside because they were to seize Paul Revere and William Dawes.-Good luck in school. (:
