Answer 2

by yelling the British are coming the! the British are coming! ;)

He rode through towns on horse and told people the British were coming. A backup plan was the famous hanging of lanterns in a Charlestown church tower: "One if by land, two if by sea."

Answer 3

The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure Propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.

He drew the event and it was mainly propaganda made to incite the colonist against the British.Revere was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken. He never finished the ride, but two men did. They were named Prescott and Dawes. In 1861 Revere came to fame through a poem written by Longfellow on the eve of the civil war.
