Patrick Henry's thesis in in his speech of March 23, 1775 is that the King of England is makins war preparations towards the colonies, and so should they.
The eviden he gives are:
The colonies have made numerous appeals to the King and to Parliament, but never to any avail.
The British are insincere in their apparent sympathetic reception to the petition expressing the colonies' grievances.
The British are talking about peace, but at the same time raising an army to attack the colonies.
This probably means that the choice is yours. Your the author of the script of your life because you get to write your own story and make your own choices. Your the captain of your ship for the same thing. You sail wherever you want to lead your life too/
