When did Paul Revere play a big part in the revolution?

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.


What happened in Boston April 15 1775?

The Boston Massacre, also know as the Boston riot, was an incident that led to the deaths of five civilians at the hands of British troops on March 5, 1770, the legal aftermath of which helped spark the rebellion in some of the British American colonies, which culminated in the American Revolutionary War. A heavy British military presence in Boston led to a tense situation that boiled over into incitement of brawls between soldiers and civilians and eventually led to troops discharging their muskets after being attacked by a rioting crowd. Three civilians were killed at the scene of the shooting, eleven were injured, and two died after the incident.

It was presented by the media of the colonists in a way that made the British look really bad. It appeared that a bunch of innocent people were gunned down with no provocation. And while it was true the British had guns, the people had sticks and rocks and were bent on make a scene.
