PAUL REVERE’S RIDEA Man Brought into the Light
His Appearance & UpbringingPaul Revere’s America
Very Ordinary Not too short, not
too tall Determined and
focused Relaxes with his
shirt undone
A brilliant designing father
Never learned French, a true Yankee
Strongly Disciplined Boston his
childhood playgroundBoston
Gage’s RoleThe Mission
Goal was to prevent another embarrassment
Planned a discrete retaliation Gathered information and formal
intelligence Prepared for an attack on Worcester
Congregational meetinghouse Countrymen were intimidating the
Englishmen
The Warning
A messenger dashes to tell Revere of the inbound attack
Hancock and Adams were targeted Revere was warned and sent to warn
other important Whig leaders Revere’s role was a collected effort
among many Boston citizens.
The March
Soldiers gathered by their Sgt’s Whispers Sent through the thick marshes Wearing their elegant Red Coats and whit
linen Undesirable rations were sent from the
Navy’s supply of hard biscuits Late night and early weather caused
shivering of the soldiers
The Alarm Revere needed yet
another mission His Leadership
brought fellow Whigs together
Not just important military leaders
Gathered important News and Information leaders
After Revere reached many of the houses word spread north as he rode west
Every house was warned by Revere and his leadership
The Muster The Militia began to gather in their own
regions after hearing the warning The men were gaining force as more
people were warned Militia required many long hours of
planning and combined effort from everyone
The Rescue
Focused on the task at hand Revere ignored the painstakingly cold weather chomping away at his bones
Revere reached his objective of Lexington
The two leaders were debating until Revere showed up
The Battle
April 19, 1775 was the day farmers became soldiers
Many of the skirmishers were organized by military personnel
Leaders were all trusted mill man, farmers, churchman, etc.
General Gage sent troops to search the Cities
A Circle of Fire
General Gage used extreme secrecy that worked for the worse causing confusion
The Chain of communication failed several times in mustering forces to unite the British Military
Trouble was scarce from the country folk
Aftermath
All the leaders with no act of pay needed reimbursement for their roles
Many took cuts in pay and sacrificed more than money
News spread of the Whig rebellion and support grew as popular opinion promoted the colonies
