Original Note:
While this image is an example of content moderation gone wrong, the Paul Revere tweet is historically misleading. The factual ride of Paul Revere's warning to patriots was done discreetly to keep the British unaware, as Longfellow changed the story in his famous poem. https://history.howstuffworks.com/history-vs-myth/did-paul-revere-really-yell-british-are-coming.htm https://www.paulreverehouse.org/the-real-story/ https://www.biography.com/news/paul-reveres-ride-facts
