Henry 9. Where and when did Patrick Henry give his famous speech? Richmond, VA March 23, 1775

Henry 10. What was the purpose of the speech? To motivate Americans to go to war with Britain to gain freedom

Henry 11. What is the famous line? What does it mean? “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” He was willing to die for freedom.

Paine 12. What was the purpose of The American Crisis Papers? To motivate George Washington’s troops to continue fighting for freedom

Paine 13. What are the famous lines in American Crisis, Number 1? “These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Now is not the time to be a coward but to stand and fight and earn the title of hero.

Paine 14. Why does Paine relate the story about the Tory parent and the child? He wanted to make the Tory’s look bad. He also wanted the Patriot’s to fight for their freedom so their children wouldn’t have to do it.

Paine 15. Find a passage in which Paine demonizes the king. Lines : What signifies it to me, whether he who does it, is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman? Whether it is done by an individual villain, or an army of them? If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case, and pardon in the other. Let them call me rebel, and welcome, I feeld no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one, whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America.
