Answer:

Paul Revere

Step-by-step explanation:

Although he was famously known for announcing the arrival of the British, historians concluded that Paul Revere never said "The British are coming!" but his real purpose for riding out at midnight was to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock that they were going to be taken into custody by British troops, who were staying in a house.
