Question

PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEE PLEASEEEEE I NEED IT PLEASEEEE ILL GIVE 65 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST ILL DO ANYTHING PLSSSIn the speech "Give me Liberty or Give me Death", what counterclaims or alternate claims does the speaker address, and how does he respond to them?

Answer 1

Hi! hope this isn’t too late (I’ll do three quotes)

The quote, “Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope.... I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves...” shows that Patrick Henry is addressing the fact that people still want to hope and hold on to the idea with peace with Great Britain (mainly loyalists), but he is saying that we have tried that for 10 years and nothing has come of that, so we must take action; America needs to go to war to allow our voices to be heard.

Another quote is:

“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger?” In this quote Patrick is saying that while yes, America may be unprepared to go against the (debatable) best army in the world, but the longer we wait the worse our chances get at defeating them. We must take action now and strike at them before our odds are even lower than they are now.

The last quote is:

“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace²but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? ...but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Finally, this quote shows a summary of his speech, showcasing that America cannot stand idle while wanting a peaceful resolution when there is none, and that we must fight. That we all want liberty, but to hope for a quick resolution is a death sentence for freedom.

I hope this helps! (Had to look up the article, but you can check if the quotes are right)

If you want you can interchange quotes 1 and 3 as they essentially mean the same thing, but quote three has the a mighty, famous quote in it and it may look better.
