And second, can you prove that more people agree with her than the people that don't?

He who warned, uh, the colonists that the British army was mobilizing, not by ringing those bells and sending warning shots and bells, provided an invaluable service to America. His daring ride through the night, swift and quiet, helped the revolutionaries prepare for the advancing British army and ensured that several revolutionary leaders didn't fall into the hands of our enemies. The only mar on his courageous ride was that he was at the end of it captured by the British. But he was steadfast and patriotic to the end, telling the British that he had, indeed, robbed them of the element of surprise.
THIS! I did my research and the poster is right.

Why does anyone change wikipedia articles?
No, they don't. That's why I did my research on the topic to know what the buzz is about. It's ok to learn something new every day, don't you think?
You for examply learned today that people in Europe can freely pass the borders without their passports.

She simply said that Paul Revere told the British, "The redcoats are coming!"

"Run for your lives!"

What's wrong with admitting that you have been wrong?

Not all throughout Europe, so do you want to clarify this?

You tell me since you won't admit it.


Two questions for you:

1. Did Paul Revere warn the British?

Answer: YES

2. Did Paul Revere's actions cause bells to be rung or weapons to be fired off?

Answer: YES
