Who is Paul Revere?

Paul Revere was an American industrialist and a Patriot in the American Revolution, who devised an intelligence and alarm system to alert the Colonial militia of a British invasion. Paul Revere was born on January 1, 1735 in Boston, USA.  In 1765, Paul Revere became a member of ‘Sons of Liberty’, a secret society formed to fight unjust taxes imposed by Great Britain and to protect the rights of the colonists. From this period, he started creating artifacts with political themes in support of the protesters. Revere joined the protest action in 1773. He served the militia until 1779. In September 1779, he was asked to resign from his post because of some complaints lodged against him. Later, a court martial was held in 1782 and his name was cleared. However, by that time, he was well-established in his business. In 1801, he opened Revere Copper Company and began to produce copper sheets using a commercially viable method. In 1803, he was commissioned by the US government to roll copper sheets to wrap the wooden hull of USS Constitution. Paul Revere retired from business in 1811. However, he remained active politically till his death.
