My Brother Sam is Dead #3

Patrick Henry, a famous Patriot, said, "Give me liberty or give me death!" How might his words have inspired soldiers like Sam? (Why would this make quote make soldiers want to fight?)Please answer this question in 4 sentences or more, you do NOT need to use a quote.

  1. It would make them fight because they would want liberty or death. They would die for their country. And if they lived thru the war they would have liberty. They would inspire him to fight.

  2. It might have inspired people because they wanted to be free. I think it would make them fight harder for what they believed in. They would want to win the war and sacrifice their lives to be free. They would sacrifice their lives to make USA a free country for everybody even if they did lose their lives.

  3. The quote definitlly inspired them because of what Sam said "Sir, it's worth dying to be free." And lots of men joined the army. They thought that if England was so far away that why should they rule them. The guote (In my opinion) inspired may soldiers to fight. Would you have joined knowing that lots of other men belive in the same thing you do?

  4. His words might of inspired the soldiers to keep fighting for what they belived him. Also, they wouldn't want to give up after fighting for so long. If they gave up, all of what they wanted would be nothing. Sam had said many things like that quote in the book, so I belive he would think the same thing as Patrick. =D

  6. It would inspire people like Sam because he would like the glory and he would like to be free. I think it wold get a lot of people to fight because it would show bravery and hope for the rebals. It also means I would die for freedom for other people. Also means never give up when your about to die.

  7. When he said that, his soilder's thought he was a strong leader. It inspired them by making them stronger, and made them want to fight harder. It also made them very hopeful that they could win. Like in the story " Sam was always bragging that he had the best leader."

  9. I think that it would make soldiers like Sam want to fight because it would inspire them to want to fight and to be brave like Patrick Henry. I also think that it would make people like Sam want to fight because if I were a soldier I would've probably have said that same statement and so would anyone else who would have joined the war.And my last reason is that they knew that they were fighting on the right side

  11. His words might have inspired soldiers like Sam because they made them feel braver and more cofindent.It also made them feel like they could do whatever they believed in. They could have belived in war or the be friends with everyone and not cause wars. The soldiers want to fight to make themselfs feel brave and likem a hero if they won the war.They wanted to be an inspireaion to other people to like Patrick Henry.

  16. Patrick Henry inspired the soldiers. By telling them that he would not give up tell he died.It also told the soldiers that they have a leader who wants liberty and will risk his life for it.
    SOldiers need a good leader and Patrick Hengry was a good one.

  17. I think that what Patrick Henry said might have inspired the soilers because it could easily made them proud of fighting against their king. You could tell by Sam's additude. You can see that he is willing to fight for freedom and pay the consequences. The speech made patriots think more about England using them to get money. So you could see that thoose words really powerfull to the minutemens' ears. It would make them think,"Why should we pay taxes to a king thats 3000 miles away?"

  19. I think those words whould have expired them because they are willing to die then not have freedom and liberty for there hole life.Those words also might have expired them because they would rather die in battle for there contry so they can have the freedom and liberty that they want for them, there family and freinds, and for the others that live in the same country.Those inspiring words also could have helped them because ther family and freinds might be in prison ships and they have a good chance of dieing so they want freedom or those freinds and family on those pison ships or they will die from the sickness and grossnes that devowers on the ugly, old, and discosting prison ship. here is a word from sam from the story said, "Sir frredom is worth dying for".

  20. This statement might have inspired soldiers like Sam because Sam probably wanted to be free and independent from England. This statement probably lifted Sam's spirits and helped him fight harder. The soldiers would want their country to have its own government so they wouldn't have to pay taxes or have to go to church every Sunday. Patrick Henry's statement probably reminded Sam that he would die for his country.

  21. This famouse quote, stated by Patrick Henry, inspired soldiers to fight for the future independance of our country, the United States of America. The soldiers woild be proud to have this name as our country. "Give me liberty or give me death!" means that he would die for others to have freedom. What Patrick Henery said inspired his troops to fight for independence for the good of others. He was truly an amazing person, Patrick Henery, a proud famous Patriot, and his fame was well-earned, too.

  22. Patrick henry inspired the soldiers. He said that if he doesnt get liberty then he wants death. It might have inspired sam and the other soldiers to fight in war. they probaly wanted to fight for liberty too.

  23. I think it might incourage soldiers to fight because "give my liberty or give me death"means to fight even if you die.You might die but you still helped you country some how.It also inspired soldies to fight to keep their family and friends safe.And if they won their country would be free.
