“Give me Liberty, or give me Death!” is a famous quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Virginia Convention. It was given on March 23, 1775, at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia, and is credited with having swung the balance in convincing the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution delivering the Virginia troops to the Revolutionary War.
To anyone who has never attended, go. Take your family and friends to the re-enactment. It is a wonderful recreation of a piece of our American history you won’t be disappointed in.
