Select the correct text in the passage. Which
sentence in this excerpt from Patrick Henry's famous "liberty or death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775 emphasizes the
American colonists efforts to avoid war?
Speech to the Second Virginia Convention
by Patrick Henry (excerpt)
Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could
be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We
have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne,
and have implored its
interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.
Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced
additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the
throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope.
If we wish
free-if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending-if we mean not basely to
to be abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious the God of hosts is all that is left
object of our contest shall be obtainedwe must fightti I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to
us!
