Paul Reveire never shouted "The British are Coming" as he road into Lexington. At the time America was a newly made country and all the inhabitants were former British citizens who would as they lacked a country at present still consider themselves British making that statement very confusing. Instead he said "The Regulars are coming" referencing the British Regulars division which had been deployed to suppress the American uprising. He also said this in as quite a voice as possible telling everyone he encountered and telling them to pass it on as the area was being patrolled by Officers of the Crown and he did not want to alert them.
