Why was Paul Revere important?

Answer 1

Paul Revere was important in our American history because he warned the Americans that the British were arriving he said and I quote "the redcoats are coming" other than saying the word Redcoats he also said lobsterbacks, lobster, and bloody backs. Redcoats were British soldiers. not only that he also was important in the Boston tea party and Henry Longfellow's poem called Paul Revere's ride.

Answer 2

Well, Paul Revere wasn't as integral to the revolution as say, Thomas Jefferson. He has earned his place in history books for warning "The the British are coming!", which was part of the revolution, though any number of people could have done that. (And no, Revere did not actually yell "The British are coming!" as commonly thought). In fact, there were others who rode with Revere that are scarcely mentioned, even though it was through their efforts that the message was passed to the Patriots.

Answer 3

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.
