WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Revere, Dawes, and Prescott were detained by a British Army patrol in Lincoln at a roadblock on the way to Concord. Prescott jumped his horse over a wall and escaped into the woods; he eventually reached Concord. Dawes also escaped, though he fell off his horse not long after and did not complete the ride.

Detailed explanation-2: -Revere’s next stop that late night was Concord, Massachusetts, a hotbed of the resistance and the suspected location of the British troops’ second attack. But Revere, Dawes and a third rider named Samuel Prescott were captured by the British en route, and only Prescott reached Concord.

Detailed explanation-3: -On April 18th, 1775, Revere made the most famous ride of his life, to Lexington, to warn patriot leaders in hiding there. During the Revolutionary War, Revere helped fortify Boston against a possible British attack.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. True, warning Adams and Hancock triggered Revere’s ride from Boston.
