WOW! Patrick Henry gave us Liberty! What an amazing speech

[@edwardloomis887]

A lot of focus is always on the last two lines of this speech, but, when gets to 7:50, the following section never fails to inspire me and raises goosebumps as it likely did over two centuries ago: 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 was fortunate to go to a high school named after this Patriot.

Time to take a quiz!👌

"Should he keep back his opinions, at such a time, through fear of giving offence, he should consider himself as guilty of treason towards his country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of Heaven, which he revered above all earthly kings." Remember this next time someone says "I would say what I think, but I'd get cancelled for it".

Patrick owned slaves 💯

[@smokemjay]

It was legal in the 1770s.That didn't make it right. Yet people fail to see that they are slaves to the government today and the opposite of what Patrick Henry said in this speech.
