Paul revere didn't even do the ride, it was his comrades who partook in the event of running back to allied forces and allerting them while Paul was at the pub. If he went around banging on doors shouting that the british are coming, a huge frenzied riot of fear would ensue and the streets would've run with with frightened americans.
As I stated in the previous thread, I would like to be Abe Lincoln so when Boothe goes to cap my dome, I disarm him and shout "not on my watch!!", then chuck him off the balcony to a certain death.
