Answer:

The early colonial leader who was opposed to British tyranny, supported republicanism, was an Anti-federalist, and famously said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" in a speech in 1775 was <u>Patrick Henry</u>.

Explanation:

Patrick Henry was an attorney, but is most known for his speech to the Second Virginia Convention where he said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" He said this particular phrase because he offered amendments to raise a militia independent of royal authority. He recognized that conflict with Britain was inevitable. While this raised concern among moderates, he supported his claim with these famous words.
