Patrick Henry was a prominent figure in the American Revolution known for his passionate speeches advocating for colonial rights and independence from Britain. He famously declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" in 1775, rallying support for the revolutionary cause. Henry served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and played a crucial role in mobilizing public sentiment against British rule, particularly through his work in the Virginia House of Burgesses. His advocacy helped inspire the colonies to unite and pursue independence.
