Here is an excerpt from a speech
made at St. John's Church,
Richmond, Virginia in March of 1775.
"The war is inevitable-and let it
come! I repeat it, sir let it come!
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the
matter. Gentleman may cry, Peace,
peace; but there is no peace. The
war is actually begun. The next gale
that sweeps from the north will
bring it our ears the clash of
resounding arms. Our brethren are
already in the field. Why stand we
hare idle? What would they have? If
life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to
be purchased at the price of chains
and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty
God! I know not what course other
may take, but as for me-give me
liberty, or give me death!"
