Patrick Henry

Dear Mr. Henry,

To me, The Enlightenment has meant that people were discovering new ideas. The Enlightenment influenced America because it brought forth new ideas, newspapers, books, and many more things. It taught people to think differently. In the Enlightenment, religion was becoming popular and more pastors were being ministered. I have learned that history has an impact on the future. Our country would be so much different without your speeches. You had a great influence on many people. Your "Give me liberty or give me death!" speech was very influential. It has had a great impact on today's society and government and how the U.S. works. It taught me to fight for what what I think is right.
