Revere is documented doing such things as riding all over New England to share the movement of Gage’s men for months, burying a trunk full of documents during the Lexington Attack, and being fearless during his capture by Regulars from the Kings Own. Fisher leaves the reader with a better understanding of the patriotic man that Revere was willing to sacrifice everything for the rebel cause, not just lack of sleep on a cold New England night but he could not return home to his wife and children after this exhausting night warning all of the towns that Lexington and Concord were to be invaded and informing and convincing Handcock and Adams that they needed to go into hiding to keep the cause

In the article, “Revere’s Famous Ride,” it states, “Although Paul Revere is the name usually associated with the famous ride to warn the approach of the British troops, he was not alone.” The text also states, “Revere worked for the American Committees of Correspondence as one of it’s many messengers.” These two quotes prove that Paul Revere was working with several other people and organizations to plan and perform this midnight ride. Him, along with people such as William Dawes and Samuel Prescott took part in the journey. These two names aren’t thought of as much by the average person.
Colonial America saw numerous contributors to the American Revolution, key leaders that presented significant, lasting impressions that remained as historic developments in United States history. The period of the American Revolution, as most periods of early development are, was arguably the most significant time for the country. While the “Founding Fathers” are traditionally labeled as the most influential early Americans, numerous other figures were equally vital in establishing the foundation and independence of the United States. The early New England silversmith, Paul Revere was a paragon of these figures. Revere would play an instrumental role in the Revolution and American politics continually through the genesis of the country.
Many of the reasons the American colonies believed they were justified in their rebellion from England lay in trade and taxes. When George III inherited the throne at the end of the Seven Years’ War England’s debt had risen to 145 million pounds and his chief minister believed that the American colonies needed to help shoulder the debt. (Nash, et al., 2007. , p. 134) In attempting to collect these taxes from the colonies to relieve the mounting debt Parliament passed a range of acts, which led to discontent among the colonists as many of them restricted trade, their political maneuverability and left many believing they infringed upon their “right to be taxed only by their own consent.”
The text talks about the story of Revere’s ride and his journey. The poem is the first piece of text that we have to learn about Paul Revere's ride. On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere left on his now famous ride. The goal of this ride, was to warn people, that the British were preparing to attack the Middlesex villages in Concord and Lexington. Revere started off the ride, by taking a boat to Charlestown, where he then waited with his horse ready to ride.
Also when he died, he died with the title of the patriotic leader of the Green Mnt. Boys. He was remembered for taking the British fort at Ticonderoga with Benedict Arnold on May 1775. The Battle fort at Ticonderoga was the first battle ever won by the americans, in the Revolutionary War. Then he moved to Vermont after the French and Indian War.
Did you know that warning Adams and Hancock triggered Revere's ride from Boston? That would be a true fact about his ride. There are many similarities and differences between “the midnight ride of Paul Revere” and the historical account. In both accounts Paul Revere wanted to warn as many people as he could going from house to house. One account said that he warned the people in Concord, while the other shows he didn't make it there.
The Famous Ride of Paul Revere Paul Revere is known for his famous ride through Charlestown, Virginia on April eighteenth, 1775 at midnight. There are many stories that have been published about this famous ride, but many are inaccurate. “Paul Revere’s Ride,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is not a credible source of information because Revere does not do the same things within these two pieces of literature, the British’s actions are not the same in the poem and the letter, and Revere is not alone on this famous night. Longfellow does not match his poem up with the true actions of Paul Revere.
