What was the signal did Paul Revere finally see?

Answer Folklore says that Paul Revere waited to see 1 or 2 lanterns in the steeple of the Old North Church that would signal if how the British were going to march. This is based on the poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere". However this poem is full of un-truths. Paul Revere attended the meeting at the Old North Church where the decision was made to warn the surrounding country side and espeically the towns of Lexington and Concord. The signal of 2 lanterns were displayed in the steeple but not for Paul Revere---instead it was to inform other rebel in the area.


Who was the folk hero of the America revolution whose dramatic horseback ride on the night of April 18 1775 warned Boston area residents that the British were coming?

This is a legend concerning Revere. He did begin the ride but was stopped by a British patrol and arrested, so he did not finish it. Instead a man named Dawes saw what was happening and went on to Concord. The idea about Revere came from an 1861 poem written by Longfellow to remind people of thier history before the Civil War.

What is the importance of Paul Revere's history?

Actually, the man Paul Revere isn't all that important. The only reason we know about him is because of the Longfellow poem "The Ride of Paul Revere" which was written a 100 years AFTER Revere. Revere didn't finish his ride to Concord and he was arrested by a British patrol. I suspect that he was used by Longfellow because his name was easy to rhyme. The act was the important part and it showed that the colonial people were ready to resist the British rule. No one expected the war to start that morning because essentially they all thought of themselves as "British", so Revere also wouldn't have ridden through the area yelling "The British are coming". A young man by the name of Bissel actually rode longer and further than Revere that night. Revere was very active as one of the Son's of Liberty and is the artist of the Boston Massacre drawing in Boston papers used to sway opinion against the British troops. Today we know that much of the picture is pure propaganda by Revere.
