EASY PLEASE HELP: Imagine how you would feel if you were a delegate at the Convention. How would you respond to Patrick Henry’s passionate words? What effect do the words have on you today? Read Below ;)
From “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!” 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! Answer the questions above please :)
He alone is worthy of life and liberty, who every day comes for them to fight. с. Goethe
