Paul Revere was a fairly well-known silversmith and engraver, based in Boston, in Colonial-Revolution era America. Following the Seven Years War of Britain prompting an economic recession, and the implementation of the Stamp Act of 1765, his lack of income prompted him to begin studying dentistry, and eventually befriend, Joseph Warren, a prominent member of a masonic lodge with strong ties to the Sons of Liberty, leading to his involvement in the group as well. From there, he used his engraving and printing capabilities to produce various inflammatory, hypercritical political pieces of artwork, protesting several things but primarily taxation, as well as use his high societal position among local artisans to influence them towards renouncing their political status as Loyalists, in favor of supporting the more militant Rebel/Whig side. Also, obviously, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, though occurring much later in the 1770's, is infamous.

They were examples of US policies designed to curb the spread of communism.

Explanation:

The domino effect or domino theory is a Cold War political term first used publicly by US President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954.

During the Cold War, Western countries, and especially the United States, assumed a sudden territorial expansion of the Soviet Union and communist ideology. Domino theory assumes that in the event of a country falling into "communist hands", all its neighbors fall under its influence and in the short term also become communist. As dominoes, all the countries of that region would become communist and communism would spread uncontrollably.
