Why does patrick henry say give me the liberty of death

History

Answer:

Historians say that Henry's “Liberty or Death” speech helped convince those in attendance to begin preparing Virginia troops for war against Great Britain. Royal Governor Lord Dunmore responded to the speech by removing gunpowder from the magazine.

Explanation:

I looked up your question online and this is what I found. It is from the first website that pops up and I'm sure your answer can be found there. Basically he said it to prove that all he wanted was independence from Britain and he was willing to die for that liberty. He was trying to convince others to join the force to support independence. I am not sure if you gave a typo saying why did he say give me liberty of death but I don't think he ever said that.

Answer:

Historians say that Henry's “Liberty or Death” speech helped convince those in attendance to begin preparing Virginia troops for war against Great Britain.

Explanation:

“Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty”—Henry burst from his imaginary chains and grasped an ivory letter opener—“or give me death!” As he uttered these final words, he plunged the letter opener toward his chest, mimicking a knife blow to the heart." this is the quote from which he said his famous line. Royal Governor Lord Dunmore responded to the speech by removing gunpowder from the magazine.
