DAY IN HISTORY



March 23, 1775                       Patrick Henry voices opposition to British policy

During a speech before the second Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry responded to the increasingly oppressive British rule over the American colonies by declaring, "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Following the signing of the American Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Patrick Henry was appointed governor of Virginia by the Continental Congress.
