By the early 1770's matters between the British Crown and the colonies was heating up to the boiling point. The main dispute in 1774 was the so-called Intolerable Acts passed by the British Parliament. In 1775, Edmund Burke was trying to prevent an armed conflict. He spoke in the House of Commons and pleaded for a reconciliation to avoid a rebellion in the American colonies. The majority of the Members of Parliament, however, rejected any compromises with the colonies. Burke had warned them that using force in America would be a disaster.Back in Virginia, Patrick Henry, was advised about the intransigent British Parliament. Henry appealed for a united colonies and asked for support for the city of Boston, which had been a hotbed of conspiracy. His speech contained the famous words of " .... give me liberty or give me death.." were meant to take up arms against the British. Henry was a solid supporter of separating the colonies from Great Britain. This of course was treason.
