Paul Revere

 Paul Revere

Paul Revere was an American Patriot in the 1770s. Revere was part of the American Revolution (a true Revolution and not persecution). Revere is denoted as having bravery and courage to have warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the English were seeking to go after rebels including Adams and Hancock for signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. When Revere learned that the British had incoming ships, he rowed through a river undetected by British ships, galloped through the countryside, and yelled out the indication that the British were in America. Revere went to Lexington and woke up Adams and Hancock. The United States decided to be independent from England because they were self-sufficient and were being taxed without representation. 

England had decided to exact taxes arbitrarily on the Americans due to the manner that they were industrious. The American Revolutionaries did not want to be taxed arbitrarily and decided to declare their independence from tyrannical England. The English were looking to arrest and remove Hancock and other individuals who supported the American call for freedom.

Once Paul Revere learned that the British were in America, he warned the American Revolutionaries that the "regulars were out!" and that the British were about. To this, Revere had courage despite knowing that if he was captured, he would have been charged with treason. Despite that, Revere warned the American militia and Revolutionaries describing the real American Patriotism that cares about their land and their bretheren. Revere risked his life to warn his American bretheren of opposition and is regarded in history as a real hero. 

Revere after warning his fellow bretheren was almost captured by British troops on almost reaching the town of Concord. When the British had surrounded Revere, shots fired out from American militia muskets and the British took off leaving Revere unharmed and uncaptured. Revere knew that the shots fired were from American militia members. The American militia defended Revere and also repelled the British at Concord. Despite not having an army and not being the world power at that time, the American militia was able to beat the British troops and obtain freedom. Paul Revere is considered an example of American bravery and true fraternity who allowed fellow Americans to persevere despite opposition. (We can persevere reminding ourselves of amazing individuals who were brave and persevere with integrity. We can persevere trusting in GOD Almighty and avoiding socialism.)

Figures of History and Individualism is meant to remind us that there are good people despite the lies of the snake. While the snake says that "everyone sins and is evil," the reality is that there have been and there are individuals who are good, positive, practice integrity, and hate evil. We can persevere practicing civil disobedience, pacifism, and worshiping GOD Almighty above everything of this temporary and imperfect world. We can persist acknowledging that GOD Almighty is everything to us and deny the lies of the snake.
