The men who alerted the Boston area to the arrival of the Regulars were Paul Revere and Williams Dawes.
If this is what I'm thinking then it's like Japan's history. Where Japan was basically run by feudal lords and their loyal clans. until Japan started to becomes westernized. It's affects where a civil war between the samurai fighting for the old ways and the new Japan military who were fighting for railroads and a new age that would disgrace the samurai's life style.
I believe it’s the last 2 options , hope that helps
