Founding Fathers, Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine were both highly persuasive patriots. Patrick Henry used his eloquence and dynamic speaking talents to call for independence in his famous 'Liberty or Death' speech. Thomas Paine used his persuasive writing skills to build the case of the fight for independence in his pamphlet 'Common Sense.' Both leaders, were able to put their point across by the use of stirring and inflammatory speech.
