Actually, Revere was captured early on. Other riders sent out the warning, but Revere had a name that was easy to rhyme. [[User:Czolgolz|Czolgolz]] 14:21, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

Can someone supply a citation or reference for the statement that Revere's intent was to warn the British?

It's been all over the news the past couple of days, and Palin did produce a historian who agreed with her. I'll see if I can find a good link on it.

I am having trouble understanding the need for the bottom part. Wikipedia already has the liberal version of events. Does Conservapedia need to cover the same ground?
=> Agreed. I just removed it. It was in the wrong section anyway, it clearly wasn't a reference.

Is it acceptable to have totally fabricated history on conservapedia, just because it differs from the "liberal version of the events"? Here is what Revere said *himself* about his ride:
"On Tuesday evening, the 18th, it was observed, that a number of Soldiers were marching towards the bottom of the Common. About 10 o'Clock, Dr. Warren Sent in great haste for me, and beged that I would imediately Set off for Lexington, where Messrs. Hancock & Adams were, and acquaint them of the Movement, and that it was thought they were the objets."

He set out to warn Hancock and Adams, not to affirm the 2nd amendment rights against BigGovernment. Don't we look like fools if we just make things up?

Is Paul Revere really the hill on which we want to tussle over political ideology? I reverted it back to the 2009 entry because it seems silly to sacrifice legitimate history in the name of politics.

'''Paul Revere''' (1734-1818) was a silversmith in colonial America who was very active in [[Boston]]-area revolutionary groups such as the [[Sons of Liberty]]. He is famous for riding from Boston to Lexington, [[Massachusetts]] with [[William Dawes]] on the night of April 18, 1775 to warn the [[minutemen]] that [[British]] troops led by General Thomas Gage were invading. Revere was captured before he could reach [[Concord]], but managed to escape. His midnight ride was immortalized by a poem by [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]].<ref>[http://darter.ocps.net/classroom/revolution/revere.htm Paul Revere]</ref>
