You do realize that "The British are coming! The British are coming!" was about the British coming to take the colonists' arms, right?

Actually, the Lexingtonians and Concordians still considered themselves British subjects at the time. They wouldn't have said, "The British are coming."

More likely, "The lobsta backs are coming!"

;)

Other than that, your point is right on.

They acutually said, “The regulars are coming.”
