Paul Revere and William Dawes were the two individuals that warned the American Militia that the British were coming. This was important to the Militia because this was the first military battle between the Americans and the British in the Revolutionary War.
Henry Ludington did as his daughter Sybil Ludington warned that the British were coming and were ready to have their war. Henry Ludington feared that the British would march toward Ludingtons' Mills
He was out riding his horse when he was stopped by a british patrol on the same night that Paul Revere had rode out to warn of the coming of the british. Simon was questioned as to whether or not he was out to "warn the minutemen" and he said no, although he was still forced to go on with the british.
The American Colonists fought the British in the American Revolutionary War because they fought back. When raids occurred in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where houses were burned and women raped, the Americans raised a militia. They attacked the British at Point Pleasant. Then the people of New Hampshire drove out the British for the same reason. Paul Revere tried to get the people of Lexington and Concord worked up about the British Army coming that way. Then fires from burning houses and barns lit the eastern sky. Necked women came screaming begging the local populace to get revenge. The men got their guns and faced the British Army. In Charleston, Mass., the British Army burned the town and abused the women. Men from all around formed a militia and stood up to the militia at the Battle of Bunker Hill. In Virginia, the British burned the town of Norfolk to the ground and again abused the women. A militia from North Carolina arrived and drove off the British. (All this is from the official report to Parliament.)
The minute men prepared the militia for the arrival of the British soldiers by hanging one lantern if the British were coming by land and two if they were coming by sea.
