Who warned the colonist in Lexington that the British were going to attack?
On the night of April 17, 1775 the Son's of Liberty were meeting in Concord and they knew that the British were gathering troops in Boston to soon march to find any weapons or powder that the colonials may have hidden. They hired Paul Revere, for 30 shillings, to ride if the troops came ashore at Charelstown. They did and Revere began his ride, but didn't finish it because he was arrested by the British patrol between Boston and Concord. Two men, Prescott and Dawes came along, saw Revere in trouble, and rode to Concord to warn the men meeting there. Later, that morning, the battle at Lexington happened and then the one at the Bridge of Concord. The only reason we think of Revere and this event is because a 100 years AFTER it happened Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. In the poem he states that Revere called out "the British are coming." That alone is not something that would have happened because the people in the colonies thought of themselves as British.
What was paul revere's role in the fighting at lexington and concord?
WRONG ANSWER BELOW Revere never made it to Concord and NEVER would have yelled "the British are coming " EVERYONE was British. In 1860 Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. The poem was to remind Americans of a shared history. This poem somehow has been allowed to be considered historical fact and put in schools history books. It is NOT history but a use of one event as a foundation for a poem. Revere for his part arrived to Concord late in the day after he was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken from him. Dr. Prescott is the only one who got to Concord before the British.

What town did revere set out of on his famous ride?
Revere left Boston for Concord, but never finished the ride. He was arrested midway between Lexington and Concord by a British patrol and his horse taken from him. The men who did finish the ride were named Prescott and Dawes. We know of Revere because of Longfellow's poem The Ride of Paul Revere written 100 years after the event. Revere was easy to rhyme other words with so he used the name and bent history a bit. Old history books, then, took the event and the poem and wrote it as fact. Thus, history was changed in the minds of people. This happens all the time in history and is still going on. Listen my children And you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.
