Explanation:

Patrick Henry (May 29, 1736 - June 6, 1799, County of Hanover, Virginia, United States) was a prominent figure in the American Revolution, known and remembered mainly for his speech "Give me liberty or give me death". Along with Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine, he was one of the most influential (and radical) defenders of the American Revolution and of republicanism, especially in his denunciations of the corruption of government officials and their defense of human rights.
