The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is .

Paul Revere yelled the british are coming in 1775. but he didn't actually say the british are coming, because at that time the colonials thought of themselves as the british (until 1776) paul revere said something like the lobsterbacks are coming or the red coats are coming or the regulars are coming.
