There were three riders that went to warn the people about the British invasion, Paul Revere, William Dawes and Sam Prescott. 
2. Paul Revere actually did  not shout the famous phrase he's known for saying, "The British are coming!" The act was to be discreet and many people still considered themselves British.
3. 3,500 militiamen were firing for as long as 18 miles but only hit about 250 targets.
4. Samuel Prescott was a third rider who had met Paul Revere and William Dawes on the way to Concord but was the only one to make it. 
5. Joseph Warren was the first to know of the invasion, not Paul Revere. ]]> 2016-10-04 14:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/128186881 crjenrettejr https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/128192278 On April 18, 1775, Joseph Warren, a physician, heard from an informant that a British infantry was coming to arrest revolutionary leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams. He sent two messengers, Paul Revere and William Dawes to warn them and other colonists about the invasion. They did this quietly because there were soldiers  already hidden in the hillside. The next day, 700 British troops arrived at Lexington and Concord and were met by 77 militiamen. The militia's aim wasn't so good however, because 8 of them died and nine more were injured while one Redcoat wa injured. The British went to Concord looking for arms but they had already been relocated. They burned the little bit that they found and was leaving but were met by hundreds of militia. The British fired first and this was known as " The Shot Heard 'Round The World." The British tried to retreat back to Boston but ran into almost 2,000 militiamen and war ensued. ]]> 2016-10-04 14:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/128192278 crjenrettejr https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/129107252 2016-10-07 13:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/129107252 crjenrettejr https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/129110299 2016-10-07 13:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/crjenrettejr/k4anp84h7c8t/wish/129110299
