In his "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech, Henry asserts that fighting against the British is the colonists' best option now. He says that the British soldiers who are in the colonies are not there to protect the colonists, but instead to maintain British rule. He urges his fellow colonists to start a revolution, since they've already been submissive to British rule.
