Patrick Henry was one of the United States Founding Fathers and a key figure in the American Revolution. Born in Virginia in 1736, he was a lawyer, politician, and orator who played a significant role in the movement toward American independence.
Henry was a passionate advocate for individual liberty and was known for his fiery speeches. His most famous speech was delivered to the Virginia Convention in 1775, where he made his famous “Give me liberty or give me death” statement.
This was the church where he gave that speech.
