Given birth to in 1736, Patrick Henry was an lawyer and a planter and an outstanding orator in the movement for freedom. A modern-day of Washington, Henry stood with John and Samuel Adams one of the market leaders of the colonial amount of resistance to THE UK that finally created the United States. The first governor of Virginia after freedom, he was reelected many times. After declining to wait the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Henry opposed the Constitution, arguing that it awarded too much capacity to the central federal. Although he denounced slavery as evil, like many other Southern slave owners, he accepted its continuation. Henry pushed vigorously for the 10 amendments to the new Constitution and then reinforced Washington and nationwide unity from the bitter party divisions of the 1790s. He was enormously important in his time, but his achievements, other than his oratory, were subsequently all but forgotten.
