American colonists' efforts to avold war?
Speech to the Second Virginia Convention
by Patrick Henry (excerpt)
Let us not, I beseech you, sir, decelve 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 reconcillation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish
to be free-If we mean to preserve inviolate those Inestimable privileges for which we have SO been so long contending-If we mean not basely to
abandon the noble struggle In which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the
glorious
object of our contest shall be obtained-we must fighti I repeat It, sir, we must
igntl An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts Is all that is left
us!i
