The phrase referring to someone leading the Anti-Federalists of Virginia with fiery oratory is often associated with Patrick Henry. He was a prominent figure during the debates over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and is known for his passionate speeches opposing it, advocating for states' rights and individual liberties. Henry's rhetoric galvanized many in Virginia who were skeptical of a strong central government.
