Revere was captured. He didn’t tell the British anything they didn’t already know. Had he not been captured....he sure as hell wasn’t going to call the British Army together to inform them....that the Bristish were coming!!!
You know, maybe, just maybe Paul Revere WAS overrated. Just saying how do we KNOW what he told the British. All we have is his statement. None of the British officers statements are on record from back then.
Maybe, just maybe, Paul Revere wasn’t the hero we read about in the nursery rhymes...
