In Patrick Henry's speech at the Virginia Convention, he uses the analogy of slavery to convey the dire consequences of inaction against British tyranny. He compares living under British rule to being enslaved, emphasizing that just as one would not accept physical bondage, Americans should not tolerate political oppression. This powerful analogy underscores the urgency for independence and the need to fight for freedom.
