Detailed explanation-1: -How do the interpretations of Paul Revere’s significance differ between the article and the poem? According to the poem, Paul Revere was a lone hero, singlehandedly riding and saving the Patriots, while according to the article, many Patriots worked with Paul Revere on the fateful night of April 18.
Detailed explanation-2: -Synopsis. Paul Revere’s Ride tells the story of Paul Revere and his historic ride to warn the town that the British soldiers were coming. It details Revere making the plan with the other soldier and continues through his ride and the resulting interaction between the British and American soldiers.
Detailed explanation-3: -“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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Though based on historic events, the poem should be read as a myth or tale, not as a historical account. Many historians have dissected the poem since 1860 and compared it to Revere’s account of the ride in his own words and other historic evidence.
