Detailed explanation-1: -What happened before Paul Revere told his friend goodnight? Why was this detail importand? Revere and his friend both had to agree on a signal. The signal was to let the colony know about how the British would attack.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although the British recaptured Revere, he told them the whole countryside knew of their advance and was taking up arms. At this point, they released him and rode off to warn the advancing troops-but they were too late. Colonial resistance caught the Redcoats by surprise as they approached Concord.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the purpose of the plan? Paul Revere asks his friend to light one lantern on the church tower if the English soldiers are coming by land and two if they are coming by sea as a signal. He, on his part, would ride through the Middlesex villages and alert everyone about the incoming army.
