Historians Say Sarah Palin Was Right About Paul Revere
Sarah Palin insists her claim that Paul Revere "warned the British that they werent going to be taking away our arms" was actually not a flub, and it turns out some historians are backing her up on this onereluctantly, notes the Boston Herald. In a 1798 letter wherein Revere describes his famous ride, he recalls being captured by British officers and warning them "there would be five hundred Americans there in a short time for I had alarmed the Country all the way up."
A history professor acknowledges that Revere warned the British of the Americans' mobilization, and adds that Palin was right about church bells ringing and warning shots being fired, too
The Paul Revere House's research director notes that Revere was probably bluffing when he talked to the Brits, but concedes that his words could be taken as a warning. "But," he adds, "I don't know if that's really what Mrs. Palin was referring to."
You forgot that part but I guess to be fair you should have included that part. But it does sound better when you omit facts.
what she said was that Paul "warned the British that they wouldnt be taking our guns by ringing those bells"
I guess when he was captured by the british he pulled out some bells and went ting-a-ling in their faces, right? right?
