To be honest, Richie. I'm disappointed in you. I asked for specifics to try and see where you were coming from and I get almost nothing from you. There was no bias as far as Palin was concerned. The 'bias', if you want to call it that was based on what I know from studying history both in books and from living next door to it.
But, hey, you gave me a link so I checked it out.
Quote:
Revere was captured.
...
The British held Revere and interrogated him with a pistol on his chest. He was asked about the plans of the militia and where they kept their ammunition. When asked where the Patriots were hiding he told them the truth and replied that they had 500 militiamen in Concord protecting them and 1500 coming. As they rode towards Concord he was told that if he tried to escape he would be shot.

Ok, I see where I got one thing wrong. He didn't start heading back towards Boston immediately until the Regulars released him when they heard the gunshots. He met up with others and headed towards Woburn, then back to Lexington to get some papers he forgot.
The link you provided showed that 'informing the British' was NOT part of the plan.
Why do you cling to this stuff? Even the links you provide refute Sarah's interpretation!
The one thing I *did* learn (or re-learn in case I forgot it) was that Revere DID give up the goods under interrogation. I wonder what Patrick Henry thought of that.
