Why did some colonists accuse Patrick Henry of treason?
They didn't. It was the British who did and they hung him for it.
Patrick Henry died before the revolution was really under way, but IF he had been alive he wouldn't have thought about slavery much I don't think. Slavery was not an issue for the time. Everyone owned slaves from Washington to Jefferson. They really didn't see anything wrong with it. When they wrote "all men are created equal" they meant all white men are created equal. There was no concern about slaves or women, both were the underclass. In fact, when the government was finally set up the population of the colonies couldn't vote for President because the founding fathers didn't feel that they could.

What happen to Patrick Henry's wife Sarah Selton?
She died by the birth of her child Edward she got ill and died.
"Well, a different version of himself was talking with them. An earlier version. There are similar "conflicts" throughout the story, like how did his daughter come back to talk to him after he died, and he never remembered seeing her... or how did he have a child when he voluntarily has a vasectomy? It's a time travel story, so weird things happen like that... but he didn't come back from the dead. It was just a different version of himself talking to them." That was somebodys previous answer. This is mine.. He was shot, but he didn't die immediatly, as he was shot as a reflex he called Clare's name, and as she ran down to find him, her Dad and Brother turned to face her and all he did was simply raise a finger to his lips so.. yeh that's how Also, his past self impregnated Clare so he hadn't had a vesectomy yet, that's how they had a baby
Patrick Fernando's The fisherman mourned by his wife?
When you were not quite thirty and sun
Had not tanned you in to old-boat brown,
When you were not quite thirty and not begun
To be embittered like the rest, nor grown
Obsessed with death, then would you come
Hot with continence upon the sea,
Chaste as a gull flying pointed home,
In haste to see me!
Now that, being dead, you are beyond detection,
And I need not be discreet, let us confess
It was not love that married us nor affection,
But elders' persuasion, not even loneliness.
Recall how first you were impatient and afraid,
My eye were open in the dark unlike in love,
Trembling, lest in fear, you'll let me go maid,
Trembling on the other hand, for my virginity.
Three months the monsoon thrashed the sea, and you
Remained at home; the sky cracked like a shell
In thunder, and the rain broke through.
At last when pouring ceased the storm winds fell,
When gulls returned new-plumed and wild,
When in our wind-torn flamboyante
New buds broke, I was with child
My face was an while telling you, and voice fell low,
And you seemed full of guilt and not to know
Whether to repent or rejoice over the situation.
You nodded at the ground and went to the sea.
But soon I was to you more than God or temptation,
And so were you to me.
Men come and go, some say they understand,
Our children weep, the youngest think you are fast asleep;
Theirs is fear and wonderment,
You had grown so familiar as my hand,
That I cannot with simple grief
Assuage dismemberment.
Outside the wind despoils of leaf
Trees that it used to nurse;
Once more the flamboyante is torn,
The sky cracks like a shell again,
So someone practical has gone
To make them bring the hearse
Before the rain
-Patric Fernando

What was Henry cecil ransom mcbay famous for?
Henry Ransom Cecil McBay was from Mexia, Texas. He received a Bachelor of Science from Wiley College in 1934 and a Master of Science from Atlanta University in 1936. McBay earned a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Chicago in 1945. He was an Instructor of Chemistry at Wiley College from 1936 to 1938. After that, he was as an Instructor at Western University, Kansas City. In 1944 and 1945, he won the Elizabeth Norton prize at the University of Chicago for outstanding research in chemistry.
Four years later he was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Research Corp. of New York for research on chemical compounds. A chemical compound is a chemical substance formed from two or more elements, with a fixed ratio determining the composition. For example, dihydrogen monoxide (water, H2O) is a compound composed of two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom.
In general, this fixed ratio must be fixed due to some sort of physical property, rather than an arbitrary man-made selection. This is why materials such as brass, the superconductor YBCO, the semiconductor aluminum gallium arsenide, or chocolate are considered mixtures or alloys rather than compounds. A defining characteristic of a compound is that it has a chemical formula. Formulas describe the ratio of atoms in a substance, and the number of atoms in a single molecule of the substance. The formula does not indicate that a compound is composed of molecules; for example, sodium chloride (table salt, NaCl) is an ionic compound. Compounds may have a number of possible phases. Most compounds can exist as solids. Molecular compounds may also exist as liquids or gases. All compounds will decompose to smaller compounds or individual atoms if heated to a certain temperature (called the decomposition temperature).
McBay served as a technical expert on a United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization mission to Liberia in 1951. He was the first recipient of research funding from George Washington Carver's donation to Tuskegee Institute, for research on extraction of fibers from okra. He found the process impossible and "researched myself out of a job," he said.
From 1945 to 1981, McBay was a member of the teaching faculty at Morehouse College, beginning as an instructor and advancing to full professor. Professor McBay served as Chairman of the Department of Chemistry for eleven year during that time. He was appointed Fuller E. Callaway Professor of Chemistry at Atlanta University in 1982 and became professor emeritus of chemistry at Clark Atlanta University in 1986. More than 45 of his students went on to receive doctorates in chemistry. He has published numerous articles in scientific journals.
Dr. McBay was assistant director of the Program for Research Integration and Support for Matriculation to the Doctorate at Clark Atlanta University while continuing to teach chemistry at the time of his death.
