Patrick Henry (May 29, 1736 -- June 6, 1799) was a prominent figure in the American Revolution. This more...speech was given March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia, and is credited with having singlehandedly convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution delivering the Virginia troops to the Revolutionary War.


"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear,or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.

  • Our Federal Republic is now treating the American people in the same manner that King George treated us 230 years ago. We all know how that ended. My God favor us once more.

  • @chubowu And you let it happen.

  • I see people think that the government is the problem, but it is NOT. It is us, the people, the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We have not participate in any political hearings. I know that there is one American that knows the solution for our modern day crisis. I plead to AMERICANS, step up and participate in political hearings. All ideas are taken seriously at hearings. because the phrase WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is as powerful as GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

  • 1776-2012, United States of America

    Politicians and Banks killed this magnificent country. 

  • If the colonist's had approached the most determined members of the British Methodist Church, then the Methodist's could have put real pressure on London to listen to colonial grievances. The war could have been avoided!...i say this because the Methodists back then were very smart! watch>>"John Wesley sermon-Thoughts On War"

  • share this and other things of importance ,help us help our selfs, break free from the chains ,help the blind see the big picture ,start talking about it grasp the attension of your fellow man do your part to open closed eyes , all is not lost ,there is no better time than now ,they want you to be silent our children will not have the means to fight if we the people of the united states of america continue to let the government that is suposed to serve us strip us of our rights , MIND CONTROLE

  • The speech is germane today, just replace references to England and King George III with today's Fed Gov who is destroying the Bill-of-Rights with the enactment of laws like the Patriot Act and the resent military appropriations bill. The Professional Military and National Guard Units are now being canvased to find out who among them will follow orders to disarm us and/or kill us. He warned in 1775 about England's chains of slavery, today the Fed Gov is forging new chains of slavery for us.
