Who was the Midnight Rider during the Battle of Lexington?
Paul RevereAnswerThere were 3 on that night. The British made their move to march out to Lexington and Concord to capture the leaders of the rebellion and destroy any arms the could find. The patriots held a meeting at the Ole North Church* and decided to send the alarm to the country side to warn them. They selected two people to send the alarm. Paul Revere was sent across the Charleston River by boat and mounted a horse to ride the northern route. William Dawes, Jr was selected to ride west along the narrow penisular that connected Boston to the land (in 1775, Boston was almost an island that was connected by a thin strip of land).[* Unlike the poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere", Revere was not waiting on the other side of the river to see the signal lights. The "2 if by sea" was a signal to everyone in the surrounding countryside to be prepared for the British to cross the river. When the decision was made, Revere left the North Church and was rowed across the Charles River under the eyes of soldiers, where a horse was waiting and Dawes mounted his horse for his overland ride.]The two riders went their separate paths that lead them to Lexington. About Midnight, Paul Revere arrived at the Hancock-Clarke house and gave the warning that the British were coming. This allowed the leaders to disperse and Captain John Parker began to assemble Minute Men who would stand and fight.The riders rode out to warn Concord and they were joined by Dr. Samuel Prescott. Dr. Prescott, some say, was out courting a lady and he met Dawes and Revere. Paul Revere, who was riding in front of Dawes and Prescott, was capturedby British officers. Dawes turned and rode back to Lexington and Prescott escaped to carry the warning to Concord. (I imagine he knew how to ride the trails at night since he was a local person to the area.)Some say Paul Revere traded his horse for his freedom. Some sources say Dr. Prescott galloped off into the dark woods like a drunken man and the British were not familiar enough with the trails to follow him.The rest of the Story.The British arrived at Lexington almost at sunrise and were met by a group of Minute Men on the green of Lexington. After a stand-off, a shot was fired and then both sides fired volleys. The Minutemen suffered several casualties. The British army marched on to Concord. At Concord the British searched the town for weapons and stores. They burned what they could find. A small group of British soldiers marched out to the bridge on the north side of town. The Minutemen from Acton and Bedford were arriving to give aid. They were carrying the flag of Bedford, which consisted of a Knight's Arm holding a sword, mounted over a cloud. As they approached the bridge, the British soldiers of the 10th Light Regiment began tearing up the bridge. Both sides opened up with volleys and the first British soldiers were killed.From there the British reformed and departed Concord to march back to Lexington. Before they reached Lexington, at Fiske's Hill, they were ambushed by more minutemen. Colonel Pitcarin'shorse bolted and the horse and his pistols were captured by the minutemen(ironically, Pitcarin was lated killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill and is buried at the Ole North Church). The British continued to march back to Charlestown and the Minute men began to arrive from all communities and kept up a running battle. More soldiers were killed.After the "battles" of Lexington and Concord, the Americans declared their independance from Britain and a full war developed. The Battle of Bunker Hill (and Breed's Hill) was the last and only battle to be fought in Massachusetts during the entire War.TodayThere is a Minuteman statue on the Lexington Green of Captain John Parker. There is another Minutemen statue at the Concord Bridge depicting a soldier leaving his plow and taking up his rifle. On the 200th Anniversary, President G. Ford visited the Ole North Church and lite a 3rd Lantern as a beacon into the 3rd Century of the United States.Today, Massachusetts celebrates the 19 of April date as a holiday. The major event of the week is the Boston Marathonis run on the first Monday.CustermenLink of timeline of Paul Revere's ride:http://library.thinkquest.org/3803/Timeline/24text.HTML

Who warned the colonist in Lexington that the British were going to attack?
On the night of April 17, 1775 the Son's of Liberty were meeting in Concord and they knew that the British were gathering troops in Boston to soon march to find any weapons or powder that the colonials may have hidden. They hired Paul Revere, for 30 shillings, to ride if the troops came ashore at Charelstown. They did and Revere began his ride, but didn't finish it because he was arrested by the British patrol between Boston and Concord. Two men, Prescott and Dawes came along, saw Revere in trouble, and rode to Concord to warn the men meeting there. Later, that morning, the battle at Lexington happened and then the one at the Bridge of Concord. The only reason we think of Revere and this event is because a 100 years AFTER it happened Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. In the poem he states that Revere called out "the British are coming." That alone is not something that would have happened because the people in the colonies thought of themselves as British.

What is the big ride of paul revere?
You may be thinking of the "midnight ride" of Paul Revere, although at the time (April 1775), it certainly was big-- as in, very important. Paul Revere was a silversmith, and he was also a patriot, a member of the group who were opposed to British rule over the colonies. His famous ride was when he and two other brave men (William Dawes and Samuel Prescott) went on horseback to Lexington, Massachusetts to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were on the way; Adams and Hancock were leaders of the American patriots, and Revere wanted to give them enough time to prepare for the impending battle; the other goal of the midnight ride was to prepare the revolutionaries to defend Concord, where their ammunition and weapons were stored (they didn't want the British soldiers to find and capture these weapons, for obvious reasons).Revere and his colleagues stopped at a number of houses along the way and warned other revolutionaries that the British troops were approaching. But Revere himself didn't get everywhere he had hoped to go because British soldiers arrested him (although they ultimately let him go). And contrary to myth (and to a poem written many years later by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow), he never warned anyone by saying "The British are coming"-- since he was British and so were all of the colonists (the colonies had not yet declared their independence). He probably shouted "the Regulars are coming"-- 'regulars' meant the British troops.
Who did Paul Revere get caught on his ride?
Revere was on the road to Lexington/Concord when he was stopped by a British patrol. He was enroute to warn Sam Adams and others that the British had landed in Charlestown and were enroute to collect/find any guns or powder. Since he was on the road after curfew he was stopped and arrested. As this was going on Prescott and Dawes came by, saw what was happening and kept going to Concord.

Would you find Paul Revere in an encyclopedia?
Yes you would find him.The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed from Rev. John Larkin and was named Brown Beauty. Larkin refers to it in his will. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.
How was stationing British troops in America related to British taxation of the colonists?
Stationing Britsh troops in America was related to the British taxation of the colonists because it was very costly to get the troops there and to support them. So, Britain needed another source of revenue to support their troops, and the best source they could find was the money the colonists had. So Britain taxed the colonists with various taxes such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act in order to aquire a new source of revenue in order to fund their troops presence in the colonies.

British troops marched on Concord in order to capture?
In April of 1775, British troops marched on the town of Concord (Massachusetts) in order to capture arms which they believed were hidden there. Nonverbal orders to the British commander seem also to have included the capture of rebel leaders who might be residing in or around the same town. In their search of the town, the British did find a small cache of arms, but they were soon forced to fall back towards Boston after facing superior numbers (and fire) from colonial militia troops.
