This Day in History: Paul Revere's Ride
On this day in 1775, Paul Revere makes his famous ride. I am so sorry to tell you that he did not really yell “the British are coming!” as he rode. But he did accomplish one important goal: He warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British soldiers were coming to arrest them.
He’d intended to continue on to Concord, warning those townspeople about British movements so weapons and stores could be secured. Unfortunately, his ride was interrupted.

The French: this freak is incredible, give him all the money
The Americans: fucking fabulous, here have a promotion
John Adams: *gnawing his own leg off in the corner in indignation*

History fans be like: "Yeah that's my scrimblo babygirl blorbo"
And the "babygirl" in question is a decaying, sad, middle aged man who's lived through the horrors of the world.
