What are the 3 inaccuracies in the Longfellow poem of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere?
The poem depicts the lantern signal in the Old North Church as meant for Revere and not from him, as was actually the case. The historical Paul Revere did not receive the lantern signal. The poem also depicts Revere rowing himself across the Charles River when, in reality, he was rowed over by others. He also never reached Concord.Another inaccuracy is a general lengthening of the time frame of the night’s events.
