QUESTION 10
Review the excerpt from Patrick Henry's "St. John's Church" speech:
Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are
fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to
win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask,
gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has
Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us:
they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging.

He asks questions and only answers at the end.
