With his head bowed, holding out his arms as if he were shackled. His voice was low when he began to speak, but it gradually began to swell: Our chains are forged... The war is actually begun... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Suddenly he threw back his head, stood straight and tall, and broke the imaginary chains. Every heart was stirred when his powerful voice rang out, Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! Patrick Henry delivers his famour “Liberty or Death” speech to the Virginia House of Burgesses. 1775: The beginning of the War of Independence
