Sir Patrick Henry

Henry called for arms against the British. This carried over protests of conservative patriots. He was considered "a Quaker in religion but the very devil in politics. His most famous speech is his Give Me Liberty speech. "When shall we be stronger?... Sir we are not weak... The war is inevitable... But there is no peace, the war has actually begun... Is life so dear?... I know not what course others will take, but as for me give me liberty or give me death!"
