Thoughts on Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death

This was fantastic! Henry has amazing ideas and sees the world as it is, not what he wants it to be. The statement "I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past" is another way of saying that history repeats itself. This coincides with some other reading that we have done, making it seem like more of a common, sophisticated idea because influential people believed it. Also, I love the way Henry makes his case that this is our last course of action: He says it plainly. Everyone knows the last sentence of this document, but what really stood out to me was the "but as for me," part. Henry is saying that even if he has to do it alone, he WILL do it. He WILL fight for his freedom.
