Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride: The True Story

The video details Paul Revere's mission on April 18, 1775, to warn local militias in Concord about British plans to seize their weapons and to alert John Hancock and Samuel Adams in Lexington of their impending arrest. Revere's ride was not solitary; he was joined by William Dawes and later by Samuel Prescott. The famous lantern signal was a backup plan in case Revere was captured. Despite being detained by a British patrol, Revere's efforts contributed to the Patriots' preparedness for the Battle of Lexington.
