How did Hancock and Adams wake up the 130 minutemen?

Hancock and Adams woke up the 130 minutemen by using a system of signals to alert them about the British troops' movements. Paul Revere and other riders spread the Word through lantern signals, with one lantern indicating a land route and two lanterns indicating a sea route. This prompt communication galvanized the local militia, allowing them to quickly assemble in preparation for the impending confrontation with British forces. Their efforts were crucial in mobilizing resistance against British authority in the early hours of the American Revolution.
