TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What warning did Paul Revere shout during his midnight ride?
Reported by PLANSPONSOR staff
“The British are coming!” is not the actual warning Paul Revere gave during his midnight ride through the Boston countryside on April 18, 1775.
What warning did he give?
He shouted, “The regulars are out!” The “regulars” were British infantry soldiers. Many of the colonists still considered themselves British.
