About Me
Hello, I am Patrick Henry I was born in may 29 1736 in Studly Virginia. I served in the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress. I am also a wonderful lawyer.I had a wife named Sarah Shelton, but she sadly became ill and died. I married to Dorothea Dandridge and have eleven boys and girls. I am a patriot, and I say lots of speeches that hopefully inspire us patriots to win this war.

One of my favorite speech is “give me freedom or give me death.” As you can tell I feel very strongly about this matter. Though I was taught by my meek father, I am very smart and opinionated. Though people die in this war, frankly we all knew that the King had it coming. Thankfully all who died, died for our new country the United States of America.

I don’t know if you agree but you should that King George the lll is being absolutely unfair, unjust, and prejudicial. I understand the King is in debt and he needed to raise taxes but it is unfair that he would only raise us colonies. That was only just the start of the terrible epidemic of the revolutionary war. When we won we all celebrated our victory but we had to remember those who fought for what was right.
