Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death

I learned that people back then were real. They stood up for what they believed in, and worked together. Something we dont do much of today because we're to worried about our own backs. They demanded for what they believe in and wern't scared about anything. They were strong and never seemed to back down no matter the circumstances.

I'm suprised that we got away with all of this and have so much we have today. They never seemed to be intemmidated, and I wish that we were still like that today. Most power figures today won't take to many chances because they are to worried about their reputation.

Yes, it took bravery on the part of the revolutionaries to beat the strongest military in the world at that time, although not all people back then were as brave or outspoken as Patrick Henry.

I agree that it's unfortunate that many of today's politicians are so worried about their reputation, but they want to get reelected don't they!
Good post overall. Could use some more specifics from the reading. 26/30 points.
