This phrase is attributed to Paul Revere on his legendary midnight ride. He supposedly said it to warn patriots of the eminent British invasion of the American Revolutionary War. However, he never said it. What he actually said was, "The Regulars are coming out."
There are many men that did not shout, " The British are coming". The most famous person to have made this statement is, Paul Revere.
He yelled, "The regulars are coming!" because the patriots and colonists still considered themselves British. The army soldiers were called "regulars".
Paul Revere shouted "The Regulars are coming" in 1775 when he was on horseback galloping through the streets to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams when the battle of Lexington and Concord were occurring when the British soldiers were coming to attack.
According to legend, he said "The British are coming, The British are coming," but modern historians have questioned whether that is actually how he phrased it. For one thing, there was no United States yet, so the colonists were in fact British. For another, Revere was making a ride in secret to warn the colonists to be ready, and it is doubtful he shouted out any warnings that might attract unnecessary attention. Thus, while he certainly did warn the colonists, it is doubtful he said "The British are coming."
The British are coming!The British are coming!
