On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere rode through Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, shouting, "The British are coming!" to start the American Revolution.RIGHT?
WRONG! Paul Revere made it to Lexington, but before he could complete his mission, he was captured!
The truth is, dozens of Patriots rode around warning people about the Redcoats' plans that night. It was actually a man named Samuel Prescott who succeeded, alerting townspeople in Lexington and then moving on to Concord. But the Revolutionary War didn't officially start for more than a year after Prescott's ride. No joke.

錯!保羅•里維爾最後到達了萊辛頓,但在他完成任務之前,他就被俘虜了!
事實是,當晚有數十名愛國者騎著馬警告人們紅衫軍的計劃。實際上是一個名叫塞繆爾•普雷斯科特的人成功地警告了萊辛頓的市民,然後再去了康科德。但在普雷斯科特後一年多,獨立戰爭才正式開始。不騙你。
