Who persuaded the house of burgesses to take action aganst the stamp act?
Patrick Henry issued several resolves in the Virginia House of Burgesses calling for resistance to the Stamp Act and saying that Great Britain had no right to tax the colonies. He made a speech in favor of his resolves which ended with: "Caesar had his Brutus--Charles the first his Cromwell--and George III--may he profit from their example."

Obviously, though, Henry was not suggesting that anyone do this.
