Patrick Henry

To appeal to his audience faith

He was a polician, attorney and planter. He really did not have time for hobbies. He had six children by his first wife and eleven by his second wife. His second wife had problems with mental illness and required a good deal of care in her later days. He was a man that did not have time for hobbies.

To me, that sounds like: Loyalty to the Union (of the 13 states) is more important than loyalty to an individual state.

He gave his "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" Speech

(O)P -- Cyclops101

“Give me Liberty, or give me death!”

He was a rich slave owner who is famous for saying "give me liberty or give me death". He had high ideals of freedom, but at the same time he sold out his ideals by denying that very freedom to every slave he owned. At that time in history the "liberty" club was very exclusive and only accepted land owning, white males. His courage for defying the authority in England could not be denied, however, as his risked his fortune and his life for his treason against the crown. His bravery to take a stand against tyranny and injustice at great personal risk, albeit hypocritical, made him unique in my humble opinion.

his accomplishments were giving a famous speech called "Give me Liberty or give me death!! He was also known as Thunder Henry, because when he gave his speech, his voice BOOMED. He also became a famous lawyer.

Virginia Colony joined the other twelve in war, so I'd say that his speech did what he meant it to.

there is NOTHING

"Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!" and "Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!"

No, he was a slave owner he had 16 slaves.

yes, he wrote many

No. It was Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775, who said " Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Patrick Henry's first job was as a storekeeper for his father’s store in Virginia. He found the work unfulfilling and did not enjoy it, feeling that it lacked the excitement and challenge he desired. This dissatisfaction with his initial career path ultimately led him to pursue law, where he became a prominent orator and a key figure in the American Revolution.

He is speaking to the inadequate structure of checks and balances within the constitution to effectively protect the secession of power. He was afraid the people would not possess the physical capabilities to remove a President determined to establish a Monarchy. He was especially worried about the Government controlling a standing army that could be used by a tyrant to control the populace.

Sarah Shelton Henry was, actually, insane. She was kept in a seventeenth century version of a straight jacket in the basement of the Henry's Scotchtown home. Now, this may seem harsh, but the alternative was worse: an asylum was the only other option, a place that, at the time, was cold, cruel, and unkept. There was no question that she would die there of starvation or disease. She had the 'best' medical care, which were, for the time bleedings and exorcisms. When she finally died in February of 1776, she was buried in an unmarked grave on the family plantation. Word is that she still haunts Scotchtown. Now, this leads some to speculate that Sarah was the inspiration to Patrick Henry's famous quote "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Truth to this is really unknown. It could be true, but chances are it's historical fiction. If you enjoy historical fiction, there's been a book written about Patrick Henry and his nutsy wife called 'Or Give Me Death' by Anne Rinaldi. It's actually a brilliant and thought provoking piece. Keep in mind, again, it is fiction. Hope to have helped.

He persuaded Americans to take action against the Stamp Act.

The stamp act was the British governments first attempt at taxing the colonists directly Henry like many others did not agree with this tax he stood before the House of Burgesses and boldly argued against the stamp act. The house passes four of his revolutions in opposition to the stamp act. The tax was repealed by parliament the very next year.
Patrick Henry opposed the Stamp Act because he believed that taxation without representation was erroneous
