When you hear Paul Revere, images of a secret midnight ride may come to mind, but in reality, Revere's famous April 18th ride did not gain him immediate fame. It was only when Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published his poem "Paul Revere's Ride" that he became the colonial hero we know today. Paul Revere was born on January 1st, 1735 to Apollos Rivoire, a silversmith. Following his father's death, Revere, aged nineteen, began work in his father's trade and assumed responsibility for the shop.

Two Sides to Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride Although many people know that Paul Revere was a savior of the Colonies, many are unaware that he was not the only hero of the night. In fact, Paul Revere actually failed in his quest. Many also interpret his journey differently than others; some poetic, such as Henry Longfellow, the author of “Paul Revere’s Ride,” which elaborates and emphasizes Revere; some historical, such as Ethel Ames’ “Paul Revere and the American Revolution,” which focuses more on accuracy; others who debate, such as Franklin Johnson in his essay “How Accurate was Longfellow’s Poem?”, which points out both the negatives and the positives to Longfellow’s poem. Despite this, both authors (Ames and Longfellow) wrote pieces of work that tell of the story of Paul Revere and are written using such different styles of writing prose that they can be compared.

This style immersed the reader into the story, allowing them to walk the filthy Pennsylvania streets right along with Matlock, and smell the freedom on the wind as if they were standing beside General Travis. I also thoroughly enjoyed the historical accuracy and key themes that the author skillfully wove into the plot. To illustrate, Jeannette tied in the concepts of the British East India Company and the West Indies slave trade. She also touched on the idea of indentured serevants coming accords the ocean, fleeing persecution in England, working the lowest jobs in America. An important theme with which the author correlated into the story was the idea of social darwinsim.

On March 5th, 1770, the event now known as the Boston Massacre took place, in which about 5 colonists were killed after soldiers opened fire on a riot. The event led to the engraving entitled "The Bloody Massacre" by Paul Revere. Revere was a well known silversmith and leader of Patriots, the group against the British Parliament, who had been taxing them and not letting them live in the areas they wanted to live in. The group called the Sons of Liberty was a group of Patriots who had held protests against the British taxation and boycotted many British goods in retaliation. The Boston Massacre occurred after a British customs official killed the 11 year old Christopher Seider, followed by a large funeral held by the Sons of Liberty.

The Famous Ride of Paul Revere Paul Revere is known for his famous ride through Charlestown, Virginia on April eighteenth, 1775 at midnight. There are many stories that have been published about this famous ride, but many are inaccurate. “Paul Revere’s Ride,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is not a credible source of information because Revere does not do the same things within these two pieces of literature, the British’s actions are not the same in the poem and the letter, and Revere is not alone on this famous night. Longfellow does not match his poem up with the true actions of Paul Revere.

He begins his novel with the events leading up to the writing of the U.S. Constitution and leads into the ratification and the changes that came with this great document in history. In the coming years there would be violations of the Constitution by the coming president and after some small debate the Constitution was cleared of any bumps it had at the time. It was soon after that talk over the Bill of Rights emerged and it was even more shortly after when the Bill of Rights was not a talk, but an actual document which would include the famous Second Amendment. This amendment would go into full affect and it would cause more trouble than Framers probably ever imagined. It would be, then and now, misinterpreted and cause some troubles that some would say cost more than its worth.
