-
some of the bad Revolutionary War movies have scenes of Patrick Henry.
-
Well, it's another one of the founders doing this.
-
Patrick Henry; that's what he does.
-
'Give me liberty or give me death.'
-
So we have a lot of images in our head about what happened there--
-
and then of course we have people crying "Treason, treason,"
-
and Henry doing a variety of brave things and saying
-
a variety of brave things as he makes his bold statement.
-
Now it's true that actually Henry was a dramatic speaker. He actually was.
-
Even Thomas Jefferson thought so,
-
and Thomas Jefferson did not like Patrick Henry.
-
He thought Henry was lazy.
