Patrick Henry expressed strong disapproval of the delegates who spoke before him at the Virginia Convention, particularly regarding their support for seeking reconciliation with Britain. He believed they were overly optimistic and naive about the intentions of the British government. Henry argued that their approach was futile and that it was time to take decisive action for independence, famously declaring that "give me liberty, or give me death!" to emphasize his urgency and conviction.
