In “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death!” which quotation best describes Patrick Henry's viewpoint about the British arms buildup? “...I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry...to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House?”
“Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?…They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.”
“There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!”
“Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?”
