paul revere was made a something of a scapegoat for everything that went wrong. henry'swas all over, grandfather said that part revere had not obeyed in order that he had given. paul revere was not remembered by a lot of the men with him at the expedition very fondly. he is remembered sort of as arrogant and not easy to work with. he is brought up on charges after it is all over. even for a while, placed under house arrest. thatrevere would demand court-martial's clear his name, which it did. talking it was 1782 or 1783. the american revolution was coming to an end. people really did not care much anymore, they were worried about paul revere. his reputation was really ruined forever. he falls in tube security for a long time. r generations, nobody knew who paul revere was. in 1861, henry wadsworth longfellow, on the eve of the civil war, decides to write a poem in which he makes paul revere the star and makes him the hero. we are counting how paul revere mounted his horse and rode through the countryside to warn his fellow patriots that the british were marching f

plug from paul revere helped. he wrote a massachusetts congressman.you can read that online at the massachusetts historical society. her lectures probably helped. she reconnected with many of the people who had known her during her during the war, including george webb, her former commanding officer, whom she called on. he was so respected, lafayette had presented him with his own sword. it included a visit with a general patterson, a congressman in new york. oldrefers to him as my friend. it took 13 years after that until the government paid eight dollars a month in 1818 after she proved she was legally indigent. a 58 euros grandma with $20 of assets to her name. here is a copy of the inventory she submitted as part of that application, on file at the national archives. let me help you by pointing out reportedf assets she consisted entirely of clothing. nothing more. with these awards, she became one of two women out of 80,000 soldiers to receive military pensions. let's talk about the other woman for just a moment. people forget about her. if you ha

this is paul revere's rendering of the so-called boston massacre. i don't think it was a massacre. i think it would more appropriately be called the boston misunderstanding. the boston example of why it is foolish policy to send troops to occupy a free people the you want to keep those people liking, you know, being members of the british empire. this is ones that most americans see. this is the version that most americans understand. so the british government has not just been taking away their property. the british government has not just been taking away their liberty but now the british government has sent troops to america and is taking away their lives. the boston tea party of 1773 is another crucial incident in the his story. essentially the british had hree ships moored at griffin's wharf. the eleanor, the beaver, and dartmouth and they were the loaded up with tea that was not taxed but also subsidized. only what the british were trying do was essentially seduce to americans who at this point had been boycotting tea for years into buying this subsidized cost, but still taxe

came out of it was the gumption and the personalities like paul revere and benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson these are incredibly successful intelligent visionary renaissance man who studied the rights of man from the enlightenment in europe they brought it to america they caught a five there ideas of freedom in the declaration of independence of the constitution of united states and once they put that in motion it was inevitably going to go forward the inertia of the revolution once sparked was carried forward irreversibly there approximately twenty two thousand red coats or english soldiers we we went on a killing spree. to secure our freedom the british empire was the biggest empire the strongest. that ever existed ever you know came in to be our age and really through the battle in our favor were the french because the french hated the british the british for hundreds of years and. when the british were defeated we tried to be more americans the. winners of two world wars undefeated in the world wars. ok so you know at home trying to figure that one out. i live in the united ki

thanks to paul revere, they had warned that the british were coming. and the weapons were nowhere to be found except in the hands of the local militiamen. who at the old north ridge, turned the british back. they repelled their advance and set them back towards boston. on the retreat back to boston, these poor beleaguered rhenish troops encountered a man who used to count himself among their ranks. i am referring to an 80-year-old massachusetts colonists named samuel whitmore. samuel whitmore was a veteran of 2 wars on which he had fought with the british. the first, the st. george's war . the second, the french and indian war. he was an elderly guy even in the french and indian war. that he had gone up and helped siege the fortress and wrestle it away from the french. samuel whitmore was ready for the british when they passed his house in what was then called monogamy, massachusetts. modern-day arlington, massachusetts. he had his musket loaded. he had to dueling pistols. and he had a sword that he had taken from the body of a french officer he had sl

almost like a paul revere moment, coming out and saying such dramatic things.today, if we were reading this four years ago and somebody said it was a novel, we would think this is wild fiction. there is nothing normal about this, that you have people making serious allegations that are close to this president literally talking about invoking an amendment in the constitution about taking a president away from power. this is a very, very not strange time, not non-normal time. this is an alarming moment in american history. and so my job, and i'm grateful that i have had some partnerships on the other side of the aisle, people like lindsey graham who stood with me to introduce and get out of our committee, efforts to protect this investigation and protect mueller, we've got to really start understanding the constitutional implications, the crisis that can come to our country if we're not prepared to deal with these crises. that brings, as you said, these supreme court deliberations back to the center. and a president who in the midst of all this crisis, unpreceden

paul cane. pk, he was both revered and feared by the press. what was it like to cover him? >> well said, s.e. you were covering what i would call a force of nature. usually these days it's the top elected leaders in the house and senate who control everything and dictate the schedule, but mccain stayed out in the committees, the armed services committee, the commerce committee, and he ruled the roost out there, and he used his own personality to build the coalitions on things that sometimes his own leaders did not want to even debate, and he would get them on to the floor, campaign finance reform, tobacco legislation. he was getting things on the floor and getting more time on the floor. you knew you were covering somebody who was unique in an era in which these days the most committee chairman are considered meek at best. >> wow. one word i have heard used to describe him that i really, really like is urgent. everything around mccain felt urgent. they say if he was giving you a hard time, it meant that he liked you. did he like you, pk? >> i'm not sure exactly which words i can say and not s
