The document discusses Paul Revere and the events leading up to his famous midnight ride. It describes how Revere joined the Sons of Liberty to protest British taxes and how tensions escalated after the Boston Massacre. General Gage was appointed to enforce new laws closing Boston's port and seizing weapons, which led to armed conflict. Revere rode to warn colonists about British plans to take ammunition from Fort William and Mary. Mounting tensions on both sides eventually led to Gage receiving orders to move decisively with more troops.
