Patrick Henry was a man of the Revolutionary War. He was a major symbol of America's struggle for independence from Britain, giving a speech on why Virginia should join the war for independence. In the speech above, Patrick Henry seemed very focused on convincing the audience that Great Britain is their enemy, and they should fight against them. I believe that Patrick Henry gave this speech so that he could ignite a spark in Virginia and get them to join the war. In the beginning of the video, Henry gives Virginia reasons why they should find Britain in the wrong, and helps them to understand why they should fight against them. Henry gives the example of how Britain is ignoring their grievances, and that they have been spurned with contempt
