He really wasn't protecting. He was sent to warn Adams and others that the British were on the march and to hide the arms they had collected. He never got there and was arrested about half-way through his ride. Two men by the names of Preston and Dawes actually got to Concord. A hundred years later Longfellow wrote his poem the "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" and made him famous for something he didn't do. "Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere."

Why do you remember Paul Revere?

New Answer:In 1775, King George III instructed General Thomas Gage, the British commander in chief in Massachusetts, to enforce order among the rebellious colonists. Joseph Warren, a patriot leader, sent Paul Revere and William Dawes to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington and the patriots in Concord.They arranged for a signal to be flashed from the steeple of the Old North Church in Boston. Two lanterns would mean that the British were coming by water, and one, by land.One of the main reasons Paul Revere is remembered, is because not only of his famous midnight ride. But, also, because anyone who goes to college, and majors in English or Literature has to learn about the famous poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who wrote the famous poem, "Paul Revers Ride."
