Paul Revere (American patriot)

Paul Revere was an American patriot best known for warning colonial militias about the approaching British troops before the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. A skilled silversmith and engraver, Revere also contributed to the revolutionary cause through his artistic work and activism. His legendary midnight ride, during which he alerted the colonies of British movements, symbolizes American resistance and the fight for independence. Although stories often highlight his ride, Revere's broader contributions as a patriot and organizer played a significant role in shaping the early stages of the American Revolution.
