    Extractions: PATRICK HENRY .............. BIOGRAPHY .............. Henry, Patrick (1736-1799) Statesman: Henry received little formal education but, after unsuccessful attempts at farming and operating a general store, he began studying law informally. After less than four months of unsupervised study, he was admitted to the bar in Williamsburg, Virginia. Henry was an active attorney throughout his political involvement with the revolution, unlike many of his political colleagues, whose legal practices were only tangential to their main efforts. Henry's first important case was the Parson's Cause Controversy, which set him defending the rights of Virginia taxpayers against the claims of Anglican clergy. He entered the Virginia House of Burgesses in May 1765, just as Britain was passing the Stamp Act, which he denounced eloquently. Henry's speaking style was a departure from the tradition of American oratory, which emphasized formal learning and allusions to classical texts. The new style, represented by Henry, resembled nothing so much as an evangelical preacher, with biblical references and, according to his critics, an appeal to passion rather than reason. This made Henry one of the first popular politicians in the emerging United States. After the war, Henry was a strong opponent of the proposed federal Constitution, believing that too much power was being given to the central government. His critique of the proposed Constitution at the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1788 stands as a clear and thorough statement of the states' rights position.

    Extractions: Patrick Henry was born in Hanover County, north of Richmond, Virginia. He received little schooling and showed sparse talent for business, failing in early ventures in farming and shopkeeping. In 1760, he started a career as a lawyer and quickly made an impact with his defense of accused criminals. In 1763, Henry moved to the forefront as a champion of colonial freedoms in the case known as the Parsons' Cause. This matter involved the methods of paying Anglican clergymen in Virginia and found Henry arguing against the policies of George III . Using the popular natural rights philosophy of the day, Henry maintained that the king had broken the social contract with the people and did not merit their allegiance. In 1765, Henry was elected to the House of Burgesses and furthered his radical reputation in the debate over the Stamp Act . He compared George III with tyrants of the past, infuriating the more conservative elements who accused him of treason. Henry responded, "If this be treason, make the most of it." Henry, along with Richard Henry Lee and

    Extractions: Patrick Henry Defender of the Baptists Patrick Henry was not a Baptist, but he was a great friend to Baptists and to our country. He was the Commander-in-Chief of the Virginia Militia and a member of the Continental Congress, the Virginia General Assembly and House of Burgesses and was involved in writing the Constitution of Virginia. He holds the distinction of being the only Governor in U.S. history to be elected five times as Governor of his State. One of the events he is famous for was his courtroom defense of three Baptist preachers. Prior to the Revolution, in 1768, Patrick rode many miles on horseback to a trial in Spotsylvania Co., Virginia. He entered the courtroom where three Baptist ministers were being tried for preaching the gospel without approval of the Episcopalian church. In the midst of the proceedings he interrupted; "May it please your lordships, what did I hear read? Did I hear an expression that these men, whom you worships are about to try for misdemeanor, are charged with preaching the gospel of the Son of God?" The preachers were released.

    Extractions: Dedication: This World Wide Web page is devoted to Patrick Henry (1736-1799). The greatest orator of the American Revolutionary period, Patrick Henry spoke for freedom and against tyranny at all possible occasions. After failing as a farmer and a storekeeper, read for the law and succeeded before frontier juries. His first famous case and oration was the known as the Parson's Cause in 1763. A Preacher, one of a dozen who refused to take out a license to preach from the Anglican church, was flogged for his resistance. During the trial, he declared, that a king, by vetoing acts of the colonial legislature, "degenerates into a tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects' obedience." In gratitude, the Virginia colonists elected Henry to a seat in the House of Burgesses in 1765. During his first term, Henry introduced resolutions declaring that the British Parliament could not tax the American Colonies. During one of the debates Patrick Henry declared, ""Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First, his Cromwell; and George the Third . . .," when he was interrupted by cries of "Treason! Treason!" by the Tory members of the house. Patrick Henry continued, "and George the Third may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it!" Henry's resolutions passed. In 1774 Henry was sent by Virginia as a delegate to the first Continental Congress. At the second revolutionary "convention" called in Virginia the next year, he urged the colony to arm its militia. It was in this speech that he uttered the famous words:

    Extractions: WHO: PATRICK HENRY He was a distinguished statesman, lawyer and orator, best remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death!" spoken while urging Virginia colonial militia to be armed for defense against England. He became governor of the new commonwealth of Virginia in 1776 and worked tirelessly to support the revolution. His strong feelings of democracy were evident when he was the first American politician to call voters, "fellow citizens." He was against ratification of the Constitution, believing it endangered the rights of individuals and states. But upon it passing, he supported it and then worked for the passage of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, called the Bill of Rights.

Our brethren are already in the field....Is life so dear, is peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Patrick Henry (1736-1799) had little formal education. He entered business at 15, failing both as a shopkeeper and as a farmer. But when he took up law he discovered his true calling—orator. He was successful before rural Virginia juries. In a famous case known as Parson's Cause he declared that by vetoing the acts of the colonial legislature King George III was acting as a tyrant, and had thereby forfeited allegiance. His remarks earned him a seat in the Virginia legislature at about the time the infamous Stamp Act of 1765 was being enacted. Henry introduced resolutions opposing the power of England to tax the American colonies. Some of his fellow legislators accused him of treason. His response: "If

    Extractions: Patrick Henry (1736-1799) is recognized as one of the most important figures in the history of the Revolution in Virginia. It was Patrick Henry who was the man who, in Jefferson's words, "set the ball of Revolution rolling" in Virginia. The famous speech in which Henry declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" was given at St. John's Church in Richmond, during the debates of the Second Virginia Convention, and Henry's stirring rhetoric helped swing sentiment to his belief that Virginians must prepare for the inevitable conflict with Great Britain. After the Revolution, Patrick Henry had a less-well known but extremely important role to play in American history. It was Henry who led the opposition to the adoption of the newly drafted constitution, on the grounds that there were no provisions made to protect individual liberties such as the freedom of speech and of the press, the right of the people to bear arms, and of the freedom of conscience, and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. He also warned of the danger posed by a centralized national government possessed of almost unlimited power. Although the Federalist faction won the debate, Henry and the Anti-Federalists exacted promises from James Madison and the Federalists that amendments would soon follow, a promise that was kept by the adoption of the first ten amendments to the Constitution.

    Extractions: The War Inevitable Patrick Henry (1736-1799) March 23, 1775 I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us into submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon that subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty, and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned with contempt at the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free; if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending; if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms, and to the God of hosts, is all that is left us.

Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." Patrick Henry at the Virginia Convention, 1788, as quoted by Thomas M. Moneure, Jr., in "Virginia's Great Dissenters", printed in the March, 1999, issue of American Guardian, pp 38-40: "You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured; for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government." Patrick Henry (J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836): "Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry, from J.

    Extractions: Henry County, Illinois, USA Patrick Henry [1736-1799] was a lawyer, orator and statesman. Henry was the first and sixth governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He was a member of the Continental Congress from 1774-76. Formed from unorganized territory attached to Fulton County, Illinois on 13 Jan 1825. The original Henry County ran north to the border of Illinois and Wisconsin and included parts of present-day Carroll, Jo Daviess, Knox, Rock Island, and Whiteside counties. In 1827, the formation of Jo Daviess County drastically reduced the size of Henry County to about half its present day area. The present borders of Henry County were not established until 1836, and until about 1837, Henry County was attached to Knox County. Approximately the southern half of Henry County was part of the land granted to veterans of the War of 1812. [ More about the Military Tract Henry County Infobahn Outfitters Looking for more info?
