On the night of April 18, 1775, some 700 British infantry marched out of Boston en route to Concord, about 17 miles away. They had expected to use their night departure to surprise the colonists, but the redcoats were constantly watched. Any unusual activity was noticed by the colonists.

The American Revolution British were taking the land route and two lanterns if the soldiers were traveling by boat. Two lanterns appeared; the soldiers were going to be ferried across the river on their march to Concord. Revere himself took the sea route. Two friends rowed him to a waiting horse. William Dawes, another Patriot, rode overland with the same news. The two met in Lexington and were joined by a third man, Dr. William Prescott. About two miles from Concord, they were stopped by a British patrol. Dawes and Prescott got away to continue alerting people of the impending British arrival, but Revere was captured. He was turned loose after the British major in command of the patrol heard gunshots in the distance and thought that the colonists were on the march. Revere had told him that there were 500 armed colonists between Concord and Boston. The patrol let Revere go and retreated. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized these events in his famous poem “Paul Revere’s Ride.” The long poem begins Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, .

By the light of dawn, some 70 men had formed a line between the British and Concord to the west. The advance party of the British saw the minutemen waiting for them and raced toward them, forming a battle line. Captain John Parker, the commanding officer of the minutemen, told his men to disperse. In the confusion, someone fired a shot. When the British officers were finally able to stop their soldiers’ shooting, eight Americans lay dead and 10 were wounded. No one knows to this day if it was a minuteman or a redcoat who fired that morning. But that shot, “the shot heard ’round the world,” began the Revolutionary War. 40 The British re-formed into companies and continued the march to Concord. In Concord, they searched the village for weapons and gunpowder, but found only a small amount. Much of it was hidden on a farm outside the village. The minutemen retreated to the North Bridge, but were fired on by the British. The minutemen returned the fire and held the bridge. In five minutes the battle was over, and the British were retreating to Boston with minutemen firing at them from behind trees and fences all along the route. Among those who participated in the fighting that day as Patriots were African Americans Pomp Blackman, Lemuel Haynes, Peter Salem, Cuffe 180 Grade 4 Handbook CK_4_TH_HG_P087_242.QXD 10/6/05 9:02 AM Page 181 Whitemore, Cato Woods, and Prince Estabrook.

Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” - George Washington, August 27, 1776 When General Thomas Gage, the British military governor of Boston, sent one thousand troops to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock at Lexington in April of 1775, he could not know the serious implications of his actions. Nor could he know how he had helped to set in motion a major rebellion that would shake the very foundations of the mightiest Empire on earth. General Gage was a military man who had been in North America since the 1750s, and had more experience than any other senior British officer. He had fought in the French and Indian War alongside a young George Washington, with whom he still had a friendly relationship. Gage had married an American woman from a prominent New Jersey family, and 10 of their 11 children had been born in the Colonies.

  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Acquires Rare Paul Revere Tankard
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: Robyn Liverant for the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg 212.472.6947 or [email protected] THE COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG FOUNDATION ACQUIRES RARE PAUL REVERE TANKARD * Williamsburg, VA (August 17, 2021)—The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has added to its renowned American and British silver collection a rare tankard made ca. 1795 by America’s best-known colonial silversmith, Paul Revere (1734-1818) of Boston, Massachusetts. Originally used as communal drinking vessels, tankards are among the largest forms produced in Revere’s shop. Approximately three dozen Revere tankards are known, and this one is typical of those from the 1790s, with tapering sides, midband, tall domed lid and pinecone form finials. “Colonial Williamsburg has long sought a significant example of Revere’s work,” said Ronald L. Hurst, the Foundation’s Carlisle H. Humelsine chief curator and vice president for museums, preservation and historic resources. “With its impressive size, fine detail, and excellent condition, this tankard fills a significant void in our American silver holdings.” A beloved American patriot, Revere is well known for his activities during the Revolutionary War. Widely recognized as an exceptional colonial silversmith, Revere also engraved prints and bookplates, ran an import business, established a bell and cannon foundry and started the first successful copper rolling mills in the new nation. Many of the objects made in his silver shop are well documented today due to the survival of his record books. Colonial Williamsburg’s Revere tankard stands nearly 10 inches tall and holds 48 ounces of liquid (usually wine, ale or cider), making it weighty to lift when full.

  • The Sons and Daughters of Liberty Questions
    Name Date The Sons and Daughters of Liberty By Cindy Grigg Caption: A depiction of the tarring and feathering of Commissioner of Customs John Malcolm, a Loyalist, by five Patriots on 5 January 1774 under the Liberty Tree in Boston, Massachusetts. Tea is also being poured into Malcolm's mouth. The print shows the Boston Tea Party occurring in the background, though that incident had in fact taken place four weeks earlier. Note the noose in the tree and the Stamp Act posted upside-down. After Britain began taxing the colonies in 1765, the colonists were angry. They had no representatives in the British Parliament. In Boston, there were public demonstrations. People flooded the streets to protest what they felt were unfair taxes. Angry mobs went to the home of the king's agent who was supposed to collect taxes in the colony. Colonists who fought the tax called themselves the "Sons of Liberty." The name came from a speech made by a member of Parliament. He also opposed the tax. Some of the Sons were common laborers. Some were merchants. Some were lawyers. Some were artists. Some were doctors. Some were newspaper publishers and writers. All of them were Patriots. They supported political freedom in the colonies. These men often held public protests against British taxes and laws. They rallied around "Liberty Trees", "Liberty Poles", or other public meeting places. In Boston, two prominent leaders were Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. In 1773, the tax on tea led the Sons of Liberty to make a public statement. "It is essential to the freedom and security of a free people that no taxes be imposed on them but by their own consent or that of their representatives." They declared that as long as tea was taxed, anyone who brought tea into the colony "shall be deemed an enemy to the liberties of America." The Sons of Liberty planned and carried out the Boston Tea Party in December 1773.

  • The Famous Ride of Paul Revere К
    к The Famous Ride of Paul Revere Paul Revere loved his children and grandchildren. (He had at least 51 grandchildren!) He called them his “little lambs.” Imagine that you are sitting with Paul Revere and some of those grandchildren, hearing about the famous ride of April 18, 1775. Listen! The British were going to march, our spies told us. Soon, they would cross the Charles River. From there they could capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who were in Lexington planning the fight against the British. Then they could march on to capture our patriot weapons, stored in Concord. Adams and Hancock had to be warned. The townspeople had to be warned, too, so that they could defend our weapons. The Regulars—the British soldiers—were coming, and people needed to know! I had a plan already. First, I hurried to Christ Church, to give a warning to those waiting across the river. We had agreed on a code: one lantern would be lit in the church steeple window if the British were to leave Boston by land, two lanterns would be lit if they were to leave by the river. Light two lanterns, I told my friend who waited in the steeple. Two friends were waiting to row me across the river to Charlestown. But in the excitement, I had forgotten my spurs! Then I noticed that my little dog had followed me. I wrote a quick note to your grandmother, tied it around the dog’s neck, and sent the dog home. The dog returned shortly—carrying my spurs.

There is no doubt that from the late 1600s to the mid-1850s, less time was devoted to pure leisure than today. The reasons for this are many – from the length of each day, the time needed for both routine and complex tasks, and religious beliefs about keeping busy with useful work. There is evidence that men, women, and children did pursue leisure activities when they had the chance, but there was just less time available. Toys and descriptions of children’s games survive as does information about card games, dancing, and festivals. Depending on the social standing of the individual and where they lived, what leisure people had was spent in different ways. Activities ranged from the traditional sewing and cooking, to community wide events like house- and barn-raisings. Men had a few more opportunities for what we might call leisure activities but even these were tied closely to home and business. Men in particular might spend time in taverns, where they could catch up on the latest news and, in the 1760s and 1770s, get involved in politics.

  • French Bread Riot of 8 Septemeber 1778
    The 'French-Bread Riot' of 8 September 1778: The French Fleet and Boston's Food Supply Michael Donnay Introduction On the evening of 8 September 1778, a group of French bakers toiled along the waterfront in Boston baking bread for the French fleet anchored offshore. The French had arrived a little over a week before, battered by a hurricane and desperately short of supplies after the failed attempt to capture Newport, Rhode Island. Upon arriving at Boston, one of the first things Jean-Charles, chevalier de Borda, Major of the French Squadron, did was to establish bakeries on shore to supply biscuit, a hard-baked bread, for the fleet.1 On that particular evening, a boisterous crowd approached the bakers and demanded bread. Adhering to their orders from Major Borda, the bakers refused to hand over any of the biscuit. The crowd, “being refused…fell upon the bakers with clubs, and beat them in a most outrageous manner.”2 Two French officers, Lieutenant Grégoire Le Henault de Saint-Sauveur and Lieutenant Georges-René Pléville Le Pelley, were nearby and rushed to investigate the disturbance. Coming upon the scene, they attempted to restore order and the crowd proceeded to assault them as well. Both were seriously wounded, Saint-Sauveur so seriously that he died from his wounds a week later. Major General William Heath, commander of the Eastern Military District headquartered in Boston, quickly become aware of the situation and dispatched the city guard to suppress the rioters. However, by the time the guard arrived the rioters had already dispersed. As the sun rose on the morning of 9 September, the situation appeared very serious indeed.

  • What Actually Happened on the Midnight Ride?
    Revere House Radio Episode 4 Revisit the Ride: What Actually Happened on the Midnight Ride? Welcome in to another episode of Revere House Radio, Midnight Ride Edition. I am your host Robert Shimp, and we appreciate you listening in as we continue to investigate different facets of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride leading up to Patriots Day in Boston on Monday April 20. Today, April 18, we will commemorate Paul Revere’s ride, which happened 245 years ago today, by answering the question of what actually happened that night? Previously, we have discussed the fact that he was a known and trusted rider for the Sons of Liberty, and that he did not shout “The British Are Coming!” along his route, but rather stopped at houses along the way and said something to the effect of: “the regulars are coming out.” With these points established, we can get into the nuts and bolts of the evening- how did the night unfold for Paul Revere? As we discussed on Thursday, Paul Revere and Dr. Joseph Warren had known for some time that a major action from the British regulars was in the offing at some point in April 1775- and on April 18, Revere and Warren’s surveillance system of the British regulars paid off. Knowing an action was imminent, Warren called Revere to his house that night to give him his orders- which in Paul Revere’s recollections- were to alert John Hancock and Samuel Adams that the soldiers would be marching to the Lexington area in a likely attempt to seize them.
