"Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Virginia Convention in 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. He is credited with having swung the balance in convincing the convention to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the Revolutionary War. Among the delegates to the convention were future U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

Governor Henry's stirring, "...give me liberty or give me death" phrase, known to almost all, becomes even more dramatically lyric when read in the totality of the speech. Delivered to the Virginia Burgesses in Richmond, Virginia's Old St. John's Episcopal Church on March 23rd, 1775, the speech was the catalyst for Virginia's rally to arms and to the support of the Massachusetts colonists and the rebellion that followed. The importance of the speech in American history probably can't be overstated. Dramatic oratory was a highly respected art of the 18th century, and Patrick Henry may have been its most skilled practitioner. The read is short and eloquent - building in tone to the pinnacle of its memorable final clause at the end of the last sentence:"...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!" P.H., 1775

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death Color Illustrated Formatted for EReaders Unabridged Version edition by Patrick Henry Leonardo Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed reading Patrick Henry's speech in its entirety. When I was in elementary school, I had to memorize and recite part of it, which greatly delighted my extended family members in Virginia. But I don't recall ever reading the whole thing. Very eloquent, of course. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of phrases from the Bible.
No doubt we all remember the closing words, "give me liberty or...", But it's well worth a couple minutes to read the speech in its entirety. And free is generally always a good deal for reading.
Patrick Henry gave this speech at a time when oratory skills set you apart as royalty and Henry was King. Through words he brings forth the feelings of those opposed to British rule and calls the nation to rise up and cast off its oppressors. The one sad element is when you read his words you cannot hear his resounding delivery. And the one tragic element is when you realize we have gone, as a nation, from "Give me liberty or give me death!" to "Where's the beef".
Patrick Henry and Rev. John Emory founded Henry & Emory College in Virginia on land that my 6th Great Grandfather Tobias Smyth donated for the College to be built. I am very proud to have an ancestor associated with this College and the two men who founded it.
Henry stirring and famous appeal to the house of burgesses is notable not only for it's magnificent rhetoric but also for Henry's conception of American liberty. Henry and the Virginians seem uninterested in creating a new order. They display a willingness to fight for the rights they inherited from the English constitution. In this way American revolution was a fight for tradition, and in many ways was barely a revolution at all.
This speech by Patrick Henry is said to be the one that he delivered at the Virginia House of Burgesses which convinced the men there to pass a resolution that aligned Virginian troops with those plotting Revolution.
It's an absolutely brilliant speech which soothes any feelings that disagreement might bring, before it presses forth with all the arguments about why Virginia should not trust that the King and Parliament will be reasonable.
The language by modern standards is flowery. So it might not be for everyone. However it benefits from actually saying something and in that way resembles nothing that would come out of any modern politician.
What I didn't know until I looked into this work is that this might be in part (or in whole) a fabrication. The gist of the work is undoubtedly correct, but the actual words were never recorded and instead were 'recollected'.
No matter the truth, this is a fundamentally American document which I think everyone should read at least once.
I'm sharing it with my kids. There's actually a free mp3 at History-dot- org with an actor reading it.

Give me Patrick Henry any time! I never tire of his brilliant speeches or writings.
On March 23, 1775, he spoke “This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. . . . For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.”
Timeless.
