Answer:

The quote by Patrick Henry states that he will be willing to die for his country. He wants freedom, not "torture." Henry wants the British out of the U.S because all they are doing is hurting the colonists. The colonists were fighting for freedom. Patrick Henry believed in this and sought to achieve this. Thanks to this quote and the bravery of our colonists, we are a free country.

Hopefully, this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:
