That was an accidental event that happened on his ride. It was never his *intention* to get stopped by the British officers. It was not the reason or purpose that he rode. The reason he rode was to warn the Colonial revolutionaries, chiefly Hancock and Adams, and then to warn the residents of Concord of the approaching British regiment. He NEVER road with the intention of warning the British!
I understand that you love Sarah. But that doesn’t mean you need to rewrite history to defend her. She is allowed to be wrong about something that she learned in grade school. You sound like “My Palin, right or wrong.” When Bachmann, or anybody else, including myself id wrong on history, I’ll say it. But I am not wrong on this. Palin is.
“He NEVER road with the intention of warning the British!”
That is absolutely and objectively irrelevant since her comment wasn’t about his intention but what he did. Among the things he did was warn the British as a feign to give them pause in a quick attack.
If you weren’t so PDS you could see the objective facts versus what you want to see. lol.
