Detailed explanation-1: -Setting: April 18, 1775, in Massachusetts Characters: Paul Revere, Revere’s friend Plot-Rising Action Event: Revere tells his friend to hang a lantern if the British march.

Detailed explanation-2: -"Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the 18th of April in 75–Hardly a man is now alive who remembers this famous day and year.” Paul Revere was a Boston silversmith. He was kind of very involved with the Sons of Liberty pretty early on.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Paul Revere’s Ride” is an 1860 poem by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that commemorates the actions of American patriot Paul Revere on April 18, 1775, although with significant inaccuracies. It was first published in the January 1861 issue of The Atlantic Monthly.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Paul Revere’s Ride” is less a poem about the Revolutionary War than about the impending Civil War-and about the conflict over slavery that caused it. That meaning, though, has been almost entirely forgotten. Longfellow, a passionately private man, was, just as passionately and privately, an abolitionist.
