The story of Paul Revere was written by Longfellow in a poem published in 1861 called the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and since that time most people think Revere did the ride to Concord. He didn't. He was hired by the Son's of Liberty to do the ride, was arrested by a British patrol between Boston and Lexington.

No. Revere would not have said "the British are coming" because many colonists still identified as British in certain respects at that time. Different sources suppose that he said either "the Red Coats are advancing" or, more probably, "the Regulars are out," as Regulars was the term commonly used to refer to the British.No, he said, "The Regulars are coming."

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.

They did get credit for it andat the time of the ride Revere was not well known for it, but later on a man named Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem that illustrated the triumph actions that Revere took on his ride. Although parts of this poem were inaccurate it was that very catchy poem that transformed this little known figure in America history to a gigantic symbol of patriosm.
yes he would ride his horse into town a cheat on his wife
Paul Revere is important because he made the famous "Midnight Ride" that warned the colonists that the British were coming to steal their ammunition before the battle at Lexington and Concord. George Washington is important because he was the commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and because he was the first President of the United States of America.
During the time of Paul Revere, the British army's mode of transport—by land or sea—was crucial for strategic military movements. If the British approached by land, they could potentially surprise colonial militias and disrupt communication lines. Conversely, a sea approach would allow for greater troop reinforcements and supply lines, but would also give the colonists time to prepare and mobilize. Revere's famous midnight ride was aimed at warning the militias about the British movements, emphasizing the significance of their route.
