Question

Who was the American patriot that urged colonists to take the final step toward independence and sever their emotional and political ties to king George 3

Answer 1

In March 20th, 1775 during the Second Vriginia Convention, the name of Delegate Patrick Henry would appear in the books of history for the famous quotation:

Give me liberty or Give me Death!

What Henry wanted to say was that there should not be any more hesitation towards a full and complete independence from Britain. The reason was that the British were getting ready to attack thecolonies in order to instate order,and Henry questions the assembly, if they thought those were acts of peace, of order of subjugation and slavery, a derogatory treatment to the colonies,and that that was precisely the British reaction to the American attempts to have negotiated solutions to their demands,encouraging their audience to finally sever the ties with Britain.
