  6. In the saying I know what course others may take;but as for me give me liberty, meaning give me freedom, or give me death also meaning kill me.So what I think what there trying to say is Set me free or kill me.

  8. Well when Patrick Henry said that ''I know not what course others take;but as for me,give me liberty or give me death!''
    I think this means that he doesn't want to live under the laws of the british he will rather die then follow the british rules.

  10. Give me liberty or give me death means that if they will not give patrick henry peace and just raise the funds for the army he will not take anything else but death.

  11. The quote that Patrick Henry wrote " I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" means that he doesnt know if other people are going to fight for freedom like he is so Patrick Henry wants freedom or you can kill him.

  14. patrick henry is saying that he don't care what other's might say or think also might take but he will not stand for what he don't like and if they don't change the law kill him in if they don't want him to do that change the law.

  15. Well what i thought the quote by Patric Henry "I know what course others take,but for me" Give me liberty or give me death" had ment that if the british laws didnt give him liberty or freedom that they would have to give him death. And that he was commited to his word.

  16. Patrick Henry was meant give him what he wants or kill him because he wants freedom and if he doesn't have freedom there is nothing to live for. Patrick wants freedom and they wont give it to him so he speaks his mind and says"give me liberty or give me death". So basicly it's freedom or nothing!

  19. The quote that Patrick Henry wrote means that if the British won't give him freedom he rather die.Because he dose not want to live a unfair life . This what I think the quote means .

  22. Hi my name is Johanna Dominique
    and i think that Patrick Henry's quote in 1775 means
    He does not care what path others take but as for him they can give him justice or death because he will not follow what they do but he will
    do what is right for him and his country. Now that is what you call a patriot!
    :) Bye :(

  23. I do not know what the man next to me will do once the government comes knocking on ALL OUR doors (SHTF situation), but as for me, let me live a free man, or give me death on the battlefield as you try to take my freedom!
