Wentworth Cheswell made the midnight ride on horseback to warn New Hampshire residents of coming of British soldiers. Cheswell was a key figure in New Hampshire politics. His life was used in public debates during the 1820 Missouri Compromise as an example how Blacks were able to be equals in society with whites.
