Answer 2

Patrick Henry accuses the British government of doing oppression in the first part of hid speech.

Patrick Henry responds to the increasingly oppressive British rule over the American colonies. The first opposition to British policy came after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation measure to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. The colonists subsequently called the first Continental Congress to consider a united American resistance to the British.

Words or phrases that stick out are:

“I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

"There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!"

"The war is inevitable and let it come!"

"Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace."
