PAUL REVERE
AND HIS IMPACT ON THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BY: ALYSSA
Paul Revere was born in December 1734 in Boston. Paul Revere died May, 10, 1818. He was quite the interesting person, as a young man he took over his father‘s silversmith shop. A silversmith is a person that makes things out of silver. Paul Revere was a very talented silversmith just like his father was. Many people think that he just became famous that night of the midnight ride, but it wasn’t until 1861 that he became famous. Paul Revere had a wife and at least 13 kids! The horse that Paul Revere rode that night wasn’t actually his horse, it was lent to him by deacon John Larkin of Old North Church. Nobody really knows why the midnight ride was so important, it was important because the warning gave people time to prepare to fight off the Loyalists.

What if Paul Revere was a Loyalist instead of a Patriot? Would he have been a spy for the British? Paul Revere was an important and famous person in the American Revolution, he made a great impact. Paul Revere was really famous for warning Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the Loyalists were crossing the sea, he also made another system just in case nobody warned them in time, and he got rejected when he tried to join the Continental Army as a Officer.

First, one way that Paul Revere impacted the American Revolution is he was famous for warning the patriots that the Tories were coming. He was famous for the Midnight Ride because it was important for the Patriots that they knew the “ Regulars” were coming. It was also important because he got to Lexington first and that made him a hero in the American Revolution!

Next, a second reason that Paul Revere impacted the American Revolution is he made another warning system just in case the riders didn’t make it. Paul Revere impacted the American Revolution because he created a new warning system that he put in place just if the riders didn‘t make it in time to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams about Great Britain crossing the sea to Lexington. That is how Paul Revere impacted the American Revolution.

Last, a final reason that Paul Revere impacted the American Revolution is he tried to become a Officer for the Continental Army but they rejected him. I think that impacted the American Revolution because if he did become an Officer he wouldn’t be able to be a rider and the other rider that would’ve replaced him might not have been as fast as Revere, that could’ve given the British Crown time to sneak in and start attacking the Patriots.

In conclusion, Paul Revere had a major impact on the American Revolution. Just for a reminder, he was most famous for warning Lexington and Concord about the British, he also made a second warning system in case the riders didn’t make it, and when he tried to be an Officer in the Continental Army they wouldn’t let him be one. What do you think would’ve happened if Paul Revere was an Officer instead of a rider?

Some people don’t know that by Old North Church there was a statue of Paul Revere on the horse. Also people think that since it was over 100 years ago that housing was really bad and old, but some houses were actually really nice and pretty. Like Paul’s house, he had a house that looked like one you would have today! Do you know that Paul revere and William Dawes were actually told that the British were crossing the sea by a kind person named Dr. Joseph Warren. Did you also know that there were other riders, not just Paul Revere and William Dawes? Do you know that even though many stories say this that Paul Revere didn’t actually yell “ The British Are Coming!!!” He was trying to be quiet so the Loyalists wouldn’t hear him.
