Paul Revere was a silversmith (a person who melts, carves, and welds silver), in the times of the Revolutionary War. On account of the Boston Massacre, he carved a scene depicting the Boston Massacre as a merciless slaughter of colonists by the British troops, not an accident egged on by colonists throwing objects and unseen by the soldiers in the dead of night. He inspired many to become Patriots or at least agree with the idea of independence.

Also, he rode on horseback before the Battle of Lexington and Concord when the British soldiers marched toward Concord to take away a rumored stash of weapons there, to warn the citizens of both Lexington and Concord of the incoming soldiers and ready the minutemen (citizens who fought as soldiers for the colonies' independence and could be ready to fight within a minute's notice) in both those towns.
