“Would any one believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn …” — Patrick Henry

Shall we, who have laid the proud British lion at our feet, now be afraid of his whelps?

Give me liberty or give me death.

I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian religion.
