     | 1,624 views

    In the year 1770, the British were sent to Boston. A silversmith named Paul Revere, and a friend of his named William Dawes, found out about a mission the British troops had, to steal the guns and gun powder from the Americans living in Lexington and Concord.

    They decided to act quickly. We are told by some historians that at 10:00 at night, Revere and his friend got their horses and started off to Lexington.
