Donaldson · Answer 1

Answer is Option C: The British government provides inconsistent and ineffectual support.

Explanation:

The main purpose of Patrick Henry 's speech "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" is that he wanted to convince the audience on the hardships they have faced, and they should fight against Britain. He talks about the past experience they had with the British and how they never had successful reconciliation. According to him, British cannot be trusted if they are bringing troops.

Henry says the bitter truth that British won't give them liberty until they wish to and colonists should fight and ask for it.
