Detailed explanation-1: -A public-spirited citizen, Revere was also ambitious and often brash, traits which he embraced during both his Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary life. Born in Boston’s North End on December 21, 1734, Revere was the third of nine children and oldest surviving son.
Detailed explanation-2: -His most famous quote was fabricated. Paul Revere never shouted the legendary phrase later attributed to him (“The British are coming!”) as he passed from town to town. The operation was meant to be conducted as discreetly as possible since scores of British troops were hiding out in the Massachusetts countryside.
Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of Paul Revere’s midnight ride, as you may recall from your high school history class, was to race to Concord to warn Patriots Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops-700 of them-were marching to Concord to arrest them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Possible Answer: The word “energetic” best describes Paul Revere.
