“Distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders, are no more. I am not a Virginian, but an American.” Patrick Henry (May 29, 1736 – June 6, 1799) was an American attorney, planter, statesman, orator, and Founding Father best known for his declaration to the Second Virginia Convention in 1775, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" After the revolution in which he played so important a role, Henry served two terms as the post-colonial Governor of Virginia.
