The Second Virginia Convention, held in March 1775, aimed to address the escalating tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain. Delegates gathered to discuss responses to British policies, including the growing conflict in Massachusetts. The convention ultimately led to the decision to form the Virginia militia and to prepare for armed resistance, marking a significant step toward independence. It also resulted in the appointment of Patrick Henry as a prominent advocate for action, famously declaring, "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
