What did Revere and midnight ride hope to accomplish? Did they succeed?

Answer 1

They hoped to warn the people that "the redcoats are coming" No, he didn't say 'the British are coming' because in point of fact, he was British.

It was an expression of warning both that the British were advancing on Concord where there was a supply of arms stored by the colonists. In addition, it was perhaps a cry that the British/Red coats were tyrants and this was part of their path to engage in tyranny.

Did you know that Paul Revere never made it to Concord? He hardly got out of the suburbs of Boston. Samuel Prescott was the one who made it all the way but we don't remember him because Longfellow didn't write a poem about him.
