Sarah Palin’s lack of knowledge on American History came through yesterday as she gives her own take on Paul Revere’s ride through the streets, according to N.Y Magazine.
Palin’s rolling bus tour brought her to Boston where she was asked about Paul Revere’s famous ride. She looked like she wanted to crawl behind the counter of the Deli she was in, rather than answer this question. It was apparent that Palin was not sure about this historic ride. She stuttered her way through a Sarah Palin explanation:
"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed."
Palin has demonstrated her lack of knowledge with geography in the past, when she didn't know that Africa was a continent and she could not name the countries in North America.

Watching Palin struggling to try and answer this question, one could almost feel the embarrassment for her. Palin was in Boston and was visting an area of The Freedom Trail, which is probably why the reporter asked her about Paul Revere's ride in the first place. The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile red path that weaves through Boston's downtown area that leads to 16 significant historic sites. The path is made mostly of the old colonial brick.
Sarah Palin's bus tour's only known stop in Connecticut as of now is in Cromwell, Ct. The bus pulled off the highway and into a gas station. Sarah got out and talked with people, as the parking lot got busy quickly once people eyed the bus. While Sarah never went in the gas station, her daughter did and purchased some gum, according to the Middletown Press.
