Detailed explanation-1: -The poem implies that Revere’s mission was a complete success. Revere had intended to ride to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the movements of the British regulars (which he did) and then on to Concord where the militia’s arsenal was hidden.
Detailed explanation-2: -Revere was a successful silversmith at a young age. After a failed military career, he returned to the silver business. Revere eventually discovered new ways of producing metals on a large scale. His ability to roll sheet copper was particularly innovative, a “discovery” helped by his theft of British plans.
Detailed explanation-3: -He is most famous for alerting Colonial militia of British invasion before the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military.
Detailed explanation-4: -Paul Revere was a silversmith in colonial Boston. He’s famous for his midnight ride to warn colonists about the British troops who were poised to attack. He is thought to have shouted along the way “The British are coming, the British are coming!” though the anecdotal story has no real basis in history.
