Patrick+Henry

For my historical figure project I studied Patrick Henry. During Patrick Henry's life, he did many things to help us and the people in his time period out. Although he did many important and memorable things, he is most remembered for his famous speeches. To this day, the speech people remember most is his speech, "Give me liberty or give me death." In the middle of Henry's busy life,he was also elected Governor of Virginia because of his bravery, leadership, and determination for independence. Also, Henry was a very strong critic of the constitution. There also could have been many bad things and moments in that time period. For example, if Patrick Henry had not fought as hard for what he believed in, we would not have gained independence as early as we did. Also many more soldiers may have died which would have led to many american families not existing. The reason Patrick Henry fought as hard as he did was because he wanted us, the people in the future, to have the freedom, rights, and independence we deserved. He also didn't want us to have to struggle as much as he did. He struggled badly to get his respect
