- Paul Revere's Midnight Ride, myth or true? 🐴#AmericanRevolutionPBS
- Date posted
- 3 months ago
- Description
- Historians are in agreement that Paul Revere did alert colonial rebels that soldiers were on the move in April of 1775, but he wasn't alone and his now famous quote: "The British are coming!" is an inaccuracy, it's just not how colonial people would have spoken at the time. The phrase is likely shaped by a popular poem written nearly a century after the events.
