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.

Which statement about the Emancipation Proclamation is true?
77julia77 [94]

Answer: It was an attempt to free only the slaves in the Confederacy, not the Border States or areas under Union control.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 by President Lincoln freed the slaves in the Confederate states. This made the war about slavery and therefore ensured that European countries did not support the Confederacy and that the Union ranks increased as African Americans signed up for the war.

Sadly the proclamation did not free the enslaved people who were in the Border states or in areas under Union control because the President did not want these areas to join the Confederacy.
