When I went to the Paul Revere house, they told me that they said there was about a dozen other riders out there that night.
You go to the spot where Paul Revere was captured in Lexington, and there's a plaque on the ground that honors Samuel Prescott and William Dawes, two other riders that were out with him.
When I climbed the steeple at the Old North Church in Boston, going up those switchback steps, I really thought about that church sexton who needed to make that journey with two lanterns in hand in the pitch black that night to make sure that people across the river had the message whether Paul Revere got there or not.
And so it was very clear that he was not the only person and that, you know, his journey was part of collective action as kind of the entire American Revolution was, is that not just one person makes a difference, that you need a ton of people kind of working together to really make that change.
I would say on the more complicated side, I know there's no doubt to me in talking to people in these different parts of the country that we are politically divided.
But there were also people who, despite that political division, really were trying to find ways to come together.
They didn't want to be divided.
They didn't want to get into those divisions.
They wanted to avoid them as much as possible, but they just couldn't find a way to break through that wall.
And so it's kind of that tension was really evident throughout the country, what I found in
in different places.
