The most famous speech that Patrick Henry gave, that includes the words, "Give me liberty or give me death," was given before the Virginia Provincial Convention, in 1775. Henry was urging that the Virginia militia be armed for the defense of the colony against England.

How did Virginia lawyer and politician Patrick Henry contribute to the American Revolution?

Virginia lawyer and politician Patrick Henry lived at the height of tensions between Britain and the American Colonists. He was vocally opposed to the Stamp and Townshend Acts and the other long list of taxes Britain imposed on its people in the New World. In 1775, Henry gave his famous speech "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" to the Virginia Assembly. However, Patrick Henry did not write out his speech, and no one wrote out his words as he spoke, so all we have today is the oral remembrances of what he said, such as what Henry's first biographer, William Wirt of Maryland, wrote out later.
