Today is the 238th anniversary one of the greatest speeches of all time. It was given by Patrick Henry to the Second Virginia Convention at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. It is said that his powerful words were instrumental in persuading the Virginia House of Burgesses to send Virginia troops to The Revolutionary War. His remarks were not transcribed but were reconstructed years later from the recollections of people who were present when the speech was delivered.
