NO, he absolutely didn’t. He had to ride in such a way to keep his journey secret from the Royalists, until he’d warned Hancock and Adams.
The fact that the British ended up being “warned” in a metaphorical way that the colonists were prepared to fight was not the intention of Revere. It was an unexpected benefit.
We get it. You love Sarah so much that you’d ignore the facts, and insult your friends, in order to create a version of events that supports her errors. Why not just call her Dear Leader and be done with it. When support of Palin becomes a cult, it becomes dangerous to ALL of us, Libs and Conservatives alike.
Try looking at facts and putting your PDS aside.
Revere was stopped by British officers at gunpoint. He warned them that the Colonists were massed and ready to dissuade them from a quick attack.
Palin’s statement is right on the nailhead in that regard.
