Patrick Henry delivered his speech entitled, "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death" in 1775 with the purpose of liberating Virginia from British colonial rule. It is considered a foundational US document because the speech encouraged the residents of Virginia to take action against the British government. Henry spoke about how the colonizers were using America only for resources.
