Description: In March 1775, following a series of restrictive acts by the British crown, a self-taught lawyer from Virginia inspired some of the greatest names in American history to take up arms against King George.
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? . . .I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.”
Few speeches stir one’s love for country more than Patrick Henry’s battle cry to his fellow legislators at the Second Virginia Convention in March 1775. George Washington cheered, Thomas Jefferson clapped, and the war for independence was born. The award-winning Quest for Freedom tells the story of this key milestone leading up to the American Revolution and the birth of our country.
