Very terse. Wonderfully eloquent for all that, though. I read through the whole speech in less time than it took me to plan out this review.

This speech is historically important to the USA, and very persuasive. If I remember correctly from my history classes, this speech was meant to convince some of the loyalist colonists to turn over to the revolutionary side. I don't remember if it did or not, but I do know that a lot of colonists back then were still hoping for peace with Great Britain. Patrick Henry mentions this in the speech and calls it laughable.

In any case, a wonderfully short non-Filibuster speech.

It applies today. The king is different. The legislature is ineffective. The court is corrupt. We are in a fight for our lives. Patrick Henry made a compelling case.

Read this today. It applies today. The first revolution could not be avoided. The second revolution is coming.

This will help you choose the right side.
