Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it. Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of free men. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, are incompatible with freedom. Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defence?

Index Biography of Patrick Henry In 1765, at the time of the passage of the Stamp Act, he was a member of the House of Burgesses. He offered a set of resolutions declaring the exclusive right of colonists as Englishmen to tax themselves. These resolutions, says Bancroft, "rang the alarm bell for the continent." In 1775 he stirred up the people of Virginia, much as Sam Adams stirred up the citizens of Boston. He attended the second Virginia Convention, and offered a resolution that the colony be put immediately in a state of defense. He made an eloquent plea for instant action, closing, it is said, with these words (according to a friend's report, written from memory, many years later): "Gentlemen may cry 'Peace! Peace!' but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almlghty God! I know not what course others may take, but, as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" Henry was a member of the first Continental Congress. He acted as governor of Virginia during the war. He was dissatisfied with the federal constitution and opposed its ratification in 1788. He felt that it gave the general government too much power, a position taken by his state later at the opening of the Civil War.

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775 Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

Los Altos Lodge No. 712: PATRICK HENRY'S SPEECH Last Updated on April 9, 2001 Return to the Los Altos Lodge Papers Page PATRICK HENRY'S SPEECH [Emailed by the From The East email list (FrmTheEast@aol.com) Sunday, March 11, 2001 11:54 AM.] No man thinks more highly than I do of... patriotism. ... But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful ... if... I should speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question ... is one of awful moment to this country. Should I keep back my opinions at such time through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty towards the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all things. "... [I]t is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. "We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition. ... Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrations have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, we may indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free; if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending; if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained; we must fight! I repeat, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and the God of Hosts is all that is left us!

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The Northwest Territory, officially known as "the Territory Northwest of the River Ohio," was established by Congress on July 13, 1787 and included the Old Northwest, an area of 248,00 square miles between the Ohio, the Mississippi and the Great Lakes. According to the Ordinance of 1787, the governmental framework would initially include a governor, three judges and a secretary elected by and responsible to congress. When the population reached 5,000 white male voters, the territory would be nearly autonomous with an elected assembly, but with a congressionally appointed governor. When a designated area consisted of 60,000 free residents, it would become a state. Another important stipulation in the Ordinance of 1787 was the prohibition of slavery.
