Sam Adams and Paul Revere

by Audrey I Gathright

Sam Adams did not want to ride a horse. But Paul Revere is famous for it and I find his whole story fascinating. He rode his horse through Concord banging on doors as he went. Yelling, “the British are coming! The British are coming!” Sam Adams, on the other hand, was sometimes called the “walker and the talker,” and that’s what he was. He would walk around his town talking to passer-bys about how the British were mistreating them, and stopping at shops to talk some more.

Sam Adams and Paul Revere do have differences but they also similarities. They were both in the Boston Tea Party, were both patriots and they both helped start the Revolutionary War.
