This evidence is not enough

Hi DNM,

I remember you once mentioned in one of your posts to me in this forum that using Wiki links is not the efficient way to prove your point.

So I take your wiki link of Paul Revere in the same way. This wiki link might have been modified by American exceptionalists like you to prove that someone called Paul Revere existed.

I want solid historical proof from you to prove that yes indeed a midnight ride by someone called Paul Revere did take place. I think the whole tale of midnight ride is a myth created by American exceptionalists like you for proving a patriotic impression upon innocent American children.

Anyways if you want to go by wikipedia I can also show the following wikipedia link for Caliph Omar bin al-Khattab.
