![]() ![]() ![]() If anyone reads any story about Paul Revere, they will see that Palin is very much mistaken about him. ![]() He warned the Americans that the British were coming, the British were coming and they’re gonna try to take our arms…” and that, “part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that, hey, you’re not gonna take American arms…” To add fuel to the fire, Palin has defended her mistake by claiming that she did not get the story wrong and in all actuality, “here’s what Paul Revere did. ![]() Revere did not ring a warning bell, nor did he fire warning shots that night. Many Americans were surprised to hear how Revere, according to Palin, “warned the British that they weren't gonna be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure, as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots that we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free." This isn’t the version of the story most of us are familiar with, and Palin has drawn a certain amount of heat from the press for her mis-history. Sarah Palin has drawn a lot of attention recently for her retelling of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. ![]()
