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!"
