SOAPST "Speech in the Virginia Convention"

"Speech in the Virginia Convention", Patrick Henry

Patrick Henry's "Speech in the Virginia Convention" is arguably one of the most important speeches we have had in our country's history. He was an attorney who had an amazing talent in public speech. He was also one of our founding fathers and was even willing to fight and die along-side the soldiers to gain independence from Great Britain. Patrick Henry is speaking at The Virginia Convention. His audience members are the congress members of the Second Continental Congress, and The President. The delegation has gathered in Virginia to decide whether they want to fight for their independence or not. Patrick Henry's intention was to persuade his audience. He speaks in a scholarly, and enthusiastic tone to show that he is very serious and polite. He is enthusiastic in order to inspire the fellow Americans so they can also join the battle for independence. It is the bravery of Patrick Henry and the rest of our founding fathers we owe our independent nation to.
