Patrick Henry is regarded as the Orator of the American Revolution, famous for his call for liberty or death at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia in 1775. But how did Henry find himself in St. John's Church that day, and was this the first time he spoke out against British tyranny? Join Preservation Virginia--owner and operator of Patrick Henry's Scotchtown plantation--in an exploration of key moments and events in Patrick Henry's road to revolution.
