Battle of Lexington and Concord Paul Revere never shouted the legendary phrase later attributed to him (“The British are coming!”) as he passed from town to town during his midnight ride on April 18, 1775. The operation was meant to be conducted as discreetly as possible since scores of British troops were hiding out in the Massachusetts countryside. Furthermore, colonial Americans at that time still considered themselves British. DID YOU KNOW?! • Paul Revere and William Dawes, members of the Sons of Liberty,rode out to warn the militiamen that “The regulars are out!” in Lexington to alert them the soldiers were on their way • They DID NOT say, “The British are coming!”
