re: #26 Summer

Paul Revere may have rang some bells on his ride, but does any mainstream historian believe that Paul Revere had any intent to warn or scare the British in any way? I have never heard this, except from Palin. All accounts I have read say that Revere and Dawes were trying their best to avoid being noticed by the British, who would likely capture them immediately if found. —Westwind273

This logic would be disputed by the Tea Party / Gadsden flag wavers, who value open defiance above prudence.
