"Revere's journal, as published to AmericanRevolution.org, should be read in full and not taken out of context. Revere informed the British what he had done but only after it was too late. The towns between Boston and Lexington were warned the British were indeed coming. Their mission was to burn an armory, but the militia had already gotten there first to get their ammunition and defend the place.

Revere's mission was to inform Samuel Adams and John Hancock they were after the munitions. At the time, he was a simple craftsman who had taken over the family business. He wasn't a "radical" such as Adams or Hancock. He was simply a messenger.

For his trouble, Revere was involved in a military campaign that ended horribly. The History Channel states he was acquitted of any wrongdoing and went back into business for himself during the Revolution.

Palin defended herself on Fox News a day after her Friday remarks, saying part of Revere's mission was to warn the British. According to his own diary, Revere was to "inform Mr. Samuel Adams and the Hon. John Hancock Esq. that there was a number of soldiers, composed of light troops, and grenadiers, marching to the bottom of the common, where there was a number of boats to receive them; it was supposed they were going to Lexington ... to destroy the colony stores."

Palin was right in one respect -- Revere did indeed tell the British, upon his capture, of his mission. However, he had already delivered his message and by the time the Redcoats found out, they couldn't do anything about it."

He did NOT "warn" the Brits.

Does anyone find it bizzare that she thinks his mission was to warn the british of the comming conflict on the common? Wouldn't that imply that his mission was to be captured? If his mission was not to be captured then why did he not just go straightaway to the lobsters and tell them that they were in for an asswhippen'?

Some devious guerrilla tactics there, eh?  Profound.

Can you imagine what an original Revere piece is worth today?

Talk about branding.
