Patrick Henry was primarily riled up by Britain's imposition of taxes and laws on the American colonies without their consent, famously encapsulated in his rallying cry against "taxation without representation." The Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, which levied taxes on everyday items, fueled his outrage and sense of injustice. Henry's passionate speeches called for resistance against British tyranny, ultimately advocating for independence and the rights of the colonists.
