Question:

Can some one give me the entire day of speaches when Patrick Henry gave his Liberty Speach?

Can some one give me the speaches before Patrick Henry gave his "Give me Liberty or Give me death"?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No, because the House of Burgesses did not keep a record of what was said.

In fact, there is considerable question as to whether Patrick Henry actually made the speech he is credited with.

It is very likey that it is an invention of William Wirt whose 1817 biography "The Life and Character of Patrick Henry" is the first known written rendition of the speech.
