Paul Revere was an American patriot who became a very prominent figure during the American Revolution. Revere worked as a messenger and he brave rode around on horseback to deliver messages and news to help the American troops defeat the British army. In 1775, Revere heard that the British troops were planning to march to Lexington and Concord to arrest Samuel Adams and john Hancock and destroy the American military supplies. Adams and Hancock were members of the Sons of Liberty, which was a group of Americans who worked to protect the colonists and fight British taxes.Revere jumped in a rowboat and row ahead of the British troops to alert many families from villages and farms that the British were coming. A famous poet named henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem about Paul Revere's ride. This poem attracted a lot of attention and it became a beloved piece of art from the American Revolution. Remarkably, there were another man, Israel bissell, who played a huge role in this historic ride to warn people that the British were coming. Bissell is on the same mission as Revere, but he managed to keep riding long after Revere was captured. Bissell rode on horseback for 345 miles throughout four states. Bissell's journey hasn't been remembered as well as Revere's because his name isnt in Longfellow's poem. Many people blame this on the fact that Revere is easier to rhyme with!
