Patrick Henry wants the colonies to start a revolution and break from British rule. He gives many reasons for this. He first says that Britain has done nothing the colonies have asked. The British have only brought more troops to try to keep the colonies in line. The colonies have tried their best but it's not working. He then goes on to say that the best time to revolt is now while Britain thinks the colonies are weak. He counters this by saying the colonies have something worth fighting for while the British troops do not. Therefore, the colonies are stronger fighters. His last reason is that God is with the colonies. That God would not want the colonies to suffer under British rule as they have been so He is on their side.
