Who said "give me liberty or give me death," which is a quote often used to inspire patriotism in America? A. Patrick Henry B. Samuel Adams C. Thomas Jefferson D. George Washington

The correct answer is:

A. Patrick Henry

"Give me liberty, or give me death!" was the closing sentence in a speech Patrick Henry made to the Second Virginia Convention (March 23, 1775, Virginia) in order to persuade them to pass a resolution to send Virginian troops to the Revolutionary War.

Henry's speech was not transcribed, but his closing words, reproduced from the recollections of men like Thomas Jefferson, became emblematic.
