Blog #4 -Rebuting Patrick Henry-

Dear gentlemen while Patrick’s words seem so sweet, bitterness comes with all this. Shall he not speak his words? Of course he should, he has all the right to speak his opinion, but are they right? Gentleman Patrick wants war but can we afford war? Can we help seeing the many lives that are going to be lost? Will we suffer the price of war when we can’t afford to pay the consequences? You’re all mad and I agree but war is not the way to fix this, we can ask Britain for help and ask for representation and justice. Why die for something that can be handling through utter protest? Patrick states experience has helped him judge the future so why don’t you judge what happened with war. Foresee families left with no sons, a nation left with no people, and a militia destroyed in the field. War and violence is never the solution one should seek. With violence only more violence is obtained. Patrick tells us Britain is not hearing our petitions so why do they remove the acts we impose to follow? Why did they remove taxes when we protested? They are listening just that we need to shout louder. No not all solution is exhausted there is the choice of dialogue. Let’s speak to our fellow England and insist as much as we need but never fight. The war is coming but we need to stop it. Think of everything this will cause to America. We are young and inexperience while Great Britain has stronger armies more people and more experience. We will be defeated in fighting but we have more chance in winning with dialogue. He says god is with all of us and will be the greatest weapon. While god is the most powerful thing in the world he may accompany you but he will not fight for you. He is an image of peace and love why will he like violence between his people? Do not use him as a persuasion when god does not want this. He can be inside all your hearts, and if he is there he will bring love therefore no war. Patrick frequently restates we are being slaves but listen gentlemen is this really true? He repeats his liberty is being taken and he continually convinces England is deceiving all of you. We have protection from Britain in our land to keep us safe, and this you see beings slaves. Slaves are not taken care of, their prisoners. Liberty is granted because we can say what we like, we can protest toward Britain but not in the point of going against them. Is England really deceiving us or are we deceiving ourselves? We believe fighting and separating from Britain is what’s right. Listen to your hearts and ask yourself if war is your solution. We have hope and we can try harder. Let’s get in an agreement with Britain but separating from them will only make us week and venerable. We need their protection and they need us. Fighting leads to chaos and catastrophe and we do not need this. Peace is the right solution and for peace only dialogue is needed. So gentlemen of America, do you really think we are slaves, and do you think fighting with violence is the way we have to go to have justice? I believe many good words are stronger than swords and guns and I hope u feel it as well.
