Actually it was "Give me
liberty or give me death!" And true history buffs will know that Patrick Henry was vehemently anti-Constitution, and hated the Federal Government. There is also a chance that he never even said it, as the only account comes from William Wirt, who wrote it seventeen years after Henry's death. There are no actual records, and other accounts claim he used threats of indian attacks and some name-calling to stir up Virginia sympathies against the British.
