Paul Revere
Paul Revere was not a unique hero before the battle of Lexington. On April 18 and 19 1775 Paul Revere took his famous Midnight Ride. One of the resources we used was the Longfellow poem that tells the story of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. In the Longfellow poem there were things that Paul Revere did that night. There was the signal when the british came 1 by land and 2 by sea. The midnight ride of Paul Revere was taken place in Boston and all the towns that were mentioned like Mystic River, Middlesex and Charlestown. Paul Revere was riding on a horse when he is making the alarm the British are coming. The colonists freedom is being threatened by the British. After reading the Longfellow poem I can say that I understand why people believe he is a unique hero. …show more content…
Paul was a member of a group of 30 people called, The Sons of Liberty. Was there more people being an alarmer in the Battle of Lexington, he was in a group and he couldn’t have been the only one to be an alarmer too. It says “I was a member of a group of 30 people, who formed a group for the purpose of watching the movements if the British soldiers, and spying for every piece of information” There was also more Information of Paul Revere getting stopped by British officers “ I was far ahead of them when I saw two British officers. In an instant I was surrounded by four British soldiers” . There is no mention of how fast the horse was going Paul on it because in the letter it said “ A hurry of hoofs in a village-street” and “the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight”. There are differences because either history was wrong or the letter did help but the poem was done after any man hardly alive so it came after it
