I know about the boston tea party, I know about his painting, but can someone tell me something else? Please?
Answer
As a copperplate engraver, Revere began producing political engravings that supported the Patriots' cause. He produced a number of political engravings and cartoons that influenced many colonists in their thinking toward Great Britain. His most famous engraving was one of the Boston Massacre.
After the Boston Tea Party, Revere became a messenger for the Boston Committee of Public Safety, often delivering messages to New York and Philadelphia about the events unfolding in Boston.
Paul Revere served in several military positions but none with great distinction.Paul Revere was one of the ringleaders of the Boston Tea Party on May 10, 1773. After the Tea Party, he was sent by the citizens of Boston to deliver news of the party to the other colonists in New York and Philadelphia. When he returned, he was appointed one of 25 men by the citizens of Boston to stand guard over the ship Dartmouth, one of the tea bearing vessels, in order to prevent the overexcited townspeople from doing further damage to the ship.
Paul Revere organized the Mechanics, a group that grew out of the Boston Sons of Liberty. The group established an intelligence network that monitored the actions of the British army in Boston with regular patrols and then sent news of the movements to patriot leaders. This is the organization that discovered that British troops were planning to march on Lexington and Concord on the evening of April 18, 1775. Paul Revere was sent with the information to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington, the occasion of his famous midnight ride.
In December 1774, the patriot intelligence network in Boston learned that the British would likely send reinforcements to Fort William and Mary at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The British had a large store of ammunition there and they feared the colonists might try to capture it. Paul Revere was sent from Boston to warn the patriots in Portsmouth that reinforcements were on the way. In response, patriots in the vicinity overwhelmed the fort and captured the ammunition. This was the first instance of force used against the British by the colonists. The ammunition was later used by the colonists against the British at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Paul Revere played a key part in the events leading up to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. On April 18, 1775 Paul Revere rode from Boston to Lexington with William Dawes to warn the patriots the British were coming to capture their leaders and their military supplies. After reaching Lexington, Revere, Dawes and Samuel Prescott rode on to warn those along the way to Concord, but they were stopped by a British patrol. Dawes escaped and turned back toward Lexington. Prescott escaped and went on to Concord. Paul Revere was captured by the patrol and questioned, but was later abandoned as the Battle of Lexington Green began. In addition, Paul Revere had made the journey to Lexington and Concord two days before as well, to warn the patriots that the British would be moving soon. Because of this trip, people across the countryside were already prepared for action when the troops actually moved on the 18th and most of the ammunition had already been removed from Concord.

Answer
The answer is D. I remember this incident very well since I am 65 yrs. old and the newspapers were filled with the news of the time.
On June 21, 1964, three young civil rights workersâa 21-year-old black Mississippian, James Chaney, and two white New Yorkers, Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24âwere murdered near Philadelphia, in Nashoba County, Mississippi. They had been working to register black voters in Mississippi during Freedom Summer and had gone to investigate the burning of a black church. They were arrested by the police on trumped-up charges, imprisoned for several hours, and then released after dark into the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, who beat and murdered them. It was later proven in court that a conspiracy existed between members of Neshoba County's law enforcement and the Ku Klux Klan to kill them.
