Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Patrick Henry Patrick Henry was born in Hanover County, north of Richmond, Virginia. He received little schooling and showed sparse talent for business, failing in early ventures in farming and shopkeeping. In 1760, he started a career as a lawyer and quickly made an impact with his defense of accused criminals. In 1763, Henry moved to the forefront as a champion of colonial freedoms in the case known as the Parsons' Cause. This matter involved the methods of paying Anglican clergymen in Virginia and found Henry arguing against the policies of George III . Using the popular natural rights philosophy of the day, Henry maintained that the king had broken the social contract with the people and did not merit their allegiance. In 1765, Henry was elected to the House of Burgesses and furthered his radical reputation in the debate over the Stamp Act . He compared George III with tyrants of the past, infuriating the more conservative elements who accused him of treason . Henry responded, "If this be treason, make the most of it."

PATRICK HENRY .............. BIOGRAPHY .............. Henry, Patrick (1736-1799) Statesman: Henry received little formal education but, after unsuccessful attempts at farming and operating a general store, he began studying law informally. After less than four months of unsupervised study, he was admitted to the bar in Williamsburg, Virginia. Henry was an active attorney throughout his political involvement with the revolution, unlike many of his political colleagues, whose legal practices were only tangential to their main efforts. Henry's first important case was the Parson's Cause Controversy, which set him defending the rights of Virginia taxpayers against the claims of Anglican clergy. He entered the Virginia House of Burgesses in May 1765, just as Britain was passing the Stamp Act, which he denounced eloquently. He served in the First Continental Congress in 1774, and gave his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in May 1775 in Virginia, although it is difficult to prove the authenticity of the precise wording of the oration. Henry's speaking style was a departure from the tradition of American oratory, which emphasized formal learning and allusions to classical texts. The new style, represented by Henry, resembled nothing so much as an evangelical preacher, with biblical references and, according to his critics, an appeal to passion rather than reason. This made Henry one of the first popular politicians in the emerging United States. After the war, Henry was a strong opponent of the proposed federal Constitution, believing that too much power was being given to the central government. His critique of the proposed Constitution at the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1788 stands as a clear and thorough statement of the states' rights position.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History HENRY, PATRICK Yet after the war Henry urged restoration of the property and rights of Loyalists, arguing that they would make good citizens of the new Republic, and he bitterly opposed the Constitution as a threat to the liberties of the people and the rights of the states. Actually, Henry had seen the union of the rebellious colonies as a marriage of convenience, a kind of defensive alliance to protect already achieved liberties. He believed that once the war had been won a strong central authority was no longer needed. Times were hard in Virginia and he favored tax cuts and the issuance of paper money by the state as a way of providing relief for debtors and small farmers, policies that Virginia nationalists like James Madison and George Washington opposed. When their concerns resulted in the calling of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Henry was elected as a delegate, but he refused to serve. After the new Constitution was published he dismissed it as an affront to "the spirit of republicanism" and the "genius of democracy." The preamble, beginning "We the people

Henry was one of the most eloquent advocates of individual freedom and states’ rights in the early years of United States history. His famous words, “Give me liberty or give me death!” have become a part of the American heritage. II Early Years Print Preview of Section Henry was born on May 29, 1736, in Hanover County, Virginia, and was raised on a tobacco plantation. He attended a local school for only a short time and was tutored by his father, John Henry, a surveyor and county justice. As a young man, Henry entered the world of commerce, but he proved to be a poor businessman: He failed as a storekeeper and as a farmer within the space of seven years. Henry married Sarah Shelton in 1756 and turned his attention to the study of law. He received his license to practice law in 1760 and soon acquired a large country clientele. By 1770 Henry was specializing in appeals before the Virginia General Court. His skill in criminal cases was perhaps unsurpassed by any other American lawyer of the period.
