A very tired Paul Revere made his way back to the parsonage and to his horror found these two sought-after patriots still there, arguing about what to do. Finally Revere & Adams convinced John that the battle was not for them, they were management. Off they went into the countryside ... and that's another story to tell on April 19th.
It is good that Hancock was not given the command that went to Washington because John was a very able President of the Continental Congress and his deal making acumen was instrumental in holding things together.
Well put!
