Diese Vorbereitungen werden nicht in der Stadt bemerkt werden, aber nicht nur weil Revere und sein Netzwerk von Mechanikern, die ständig auf der Wache sind, aber sie sind nicht die Einzigen. Die meisten Boston-Wigs sind Leute, die sogar sympathisch mit der Wig-Krise sind. were also constantly watching what the British Army was doing. So it was really hard for them to do anything in secret.

And some movements to prepare for the eventual raid on Concord began about a week in advance. And so the alarm was already raised. And Revere made a previous ride out to Lexington about a week before April 8th. So he rides out there thinking that the attack was imminent. But of course it was still going to be about another week and a half.

You mean by the militia? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't the plan necessarily to engage with the British Army, right? I mean, Captain Parker, who leads the militia at Lexington, famously orders his 60 militiamen on the green not to fire unless fired upon. He says, don't molest the troops, let them pass by. Those orders are repeatedly given throughout the whole early morning and day of the 19th.

So it seems pretty clear that there wasn't an intention on the part of the militia themselves to, say, start a war. But also it is the case that we'd had these number of alarms, the Portsmouth Alarm, the Salem Alarm, So there was a heightened intensity on the part of the people in the countryside and who were growing increasingly frustrated under the yoke of the coercive acts.

And so while they didn't go out there to start a war, They weren't going out there at that point to necessarily to avoid one at all costs either. Right. There's a great animosity between what the British soldiers would call the country people of these towns and the regulars.

I mean, you know, there's so much animosity that had been built up over the previous seven years, but then especially just in the previous, you know, six months to a year, that it's really in some sense a sort of powder keg waiting to explode. Yeah.

Nein, ich meine, der primäre Grund für die Reise ist, dass die Intelligenz, die von Joseph Warren erhoben wird, dass die Mission, die vorhanden ist, zweifelig ist. Und einer ist, dass die britische Armee das Wort bekommen hat, dass John Hancock und Samuel Adams in Lexington verstecken sind. Und so werden sie, Teil des Plans war es, sie zu besiegen.

And then the other part was to seize this large store of gunpowder that was supposedly in Concord. So it's this sort of two-fold mission.
