Answer:
D) Patrick Henry pleads with legislature to take up arms against encroaching British forces before it’s too late.
Explanation:
Patrick Henry was one of the most talented American nationalists who influenced the country's independence and shaped the nation's history. A well-educated lawyer and politician, Henry was a key figure in the events leading up to the American Revolution that began in 1775 leading to America's independence in 1776. An excellent speaker and a successful farmer, Henry's influence was felt in America pre and post independency.
On March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry spoke at the convention in Richmond, Virginia, about growing tensions between the colony and England.
The original speech was not transcribed by anyone at the time, but everyone present reported that it was one of the best, most inflamed and persuasive ever delivered. The delegates who watched Patrick Henry's brilliant and historic performance agree on the last sentence of the speech, which immortalized its author: "Give me Liberty or Give me Death!"
The phrase influences many political speeches to this day. It is present at the opening of the Uruguayan anthem ("Orientales la Patria o la Tumba!") And in the Greek slogan ("Eleftheria i thanatos", "Freedom or Death"), among others.
