“Give me liberty, or give me death!”
March 23, 1775 – Virginia Convention. Facing British disarmament edicts, Henry electrified the room, arguing that an armed citizenry was the only bulwark against tyranny. The speech galvanized Virginia to arm its militia—sparking the powder keg of revolution.

no due process, no compliance.
