Give Me Liberty: The Uncompromising Statesmanship of Patrick Henry
"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!"
These compelling words embodied the patriotic spirit of Patrick Henry--a brilliant orator whose love of liberty, won at any cost, fueled the fire of the American Revolution.
Patrick Henry was a hero.
In this incredible look at his leadership in action, we see why Henry's love of liberty gave him the courage to stand in the face of tyranny and prevail.
