LECTURA DE COMPRENSION
Patrick Henry was a' gay .and friendly person, and a good conversatio-
nalist, and people liked to listen to him, although he lacked the authority
derived from knowledge,
Twice he triad his luck as a stor:e owner, first when he was fifteen, as a
partner to his older brother; five years later, at twenty, by himself. 80th
attempts failed completely. In between his two experiences as a storekeeper,
hel had married Sarah Shelton, who bravely accepted his proposal of
márriage, although Patrick had no money and no prospects. 80th his and her
parents tried to help and gave them a far.m.Again Patrick failed, because he
loved life in a farm, but he didn't care for the business part of it.
Then he decided to become a lawyer. He was a Iittle afraid, but his wife
encouraged him, .and his owri desire to become a brilliant orator and con-
vince people with his eloquence ofwhat he thought about life in general and
life in the British Colonies in particular, helped him. He could not attend
the un iversity, so he ordered the books he needed and started to study them.
Patrick Henry was intell ¡gent, and he finally was doing what he really wanted
to do, so he learned well and quickly. In 1760 he a'pplied for the bar
examinations, and to the surprise of the members of the bar, who examined
him orally, he passed them. This was the beginning of his great success as a
lawyer. After his first case in defense of a group of farmers, which.he vVon,
many more came and made him one of the most famous ,Iawyers in Virginia
and in the American Colonies. In 1763, when he was twenty-seven, Patrick
won the famous "Parson's Cause" by arguing that King George 11,in disal-
lowing a just law enacted by the Virginia General Assembly in 1758, had
proven an enemy to his people, and not the father he was supposed to be.
This launched Patrick Henry into politics and he became an important
element in the American Revolutionarv War, mainly through his highly
eff~ctive oratory protesting the 8ritish intrusion on colonial rights. 8ut not
only this, he was instrumental in convincing the people of the Cólonies that
it was necessary to organize militarily, and to the arguments against war
with the British he said, among other things, these famous words: "Is I¡fe so
66
dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and
si?avery Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may
take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me' death". And through his
efforts, and the efforts of many other Americans, the United States finally
obtained its independence from Engl.and.
Patrick Henry continued actively in politics almost to the end of his
life. Retired for a few years, came back again into politics in 1799, but only
briefly, as he d ied that year.
