Answer: Warning his fellow colonists in the middle of the night that the Redcoats were approaching
Explanation:
Paul Revere was a patriot who rode to notify the colonists about a British advance, and by doing so he provided the local militia an advantage through the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which would start the Revolutionary War and eventually lead to the American independence.
His patriotic act would be later retold in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride.”
