Patrick Henry's speech to convince representatives to revolt is full of fallacy. For instance in the second paragraph when he says "For my own part I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slaver" is a fallacy. Henry excludes the middle much like he does in the famous quote at the speech's end "Give me liberty or give me death". In both cases he offers only two extremes as options, but ignores any middle ground or alternative options.
