speech, court transcript, legislation, diary entry, photograph, artifact, map, broadside, circular, political cartoon, artwork, etc.) Provide a brief description of something you notice about the source, as if you were explaining to someone who can’t see it. Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death!" speech was given on March 13, 1775. In his speech, he urged colonists in America to resist oppression from Britain. He pushed people to make a choice between freedom and death, capturing the desperate determination that fueled the American Revolution. The speech is a powerful call to action in the face of tyranny. This petition protests the forced removal policy in 1836. The Cherokee Nation objected to the policy. Over 15,000 people signed the petition, expressing their refusal to accept the policies. The petition cited the previous promises of protection and land guarantees made by the United States government. The Cherokee nation pleaded for the U.S. to reconsider the removal policy, stating that it betrayed the longstanding relationship between the Cherokee Nation and the United States. Part 2: Observe its Parts Primary Source 1 Primary Source 2 Who wrote it or created it? Was it one person, or was it a group, like an organization? Patrick Henry wrote this speech. The leaders of the Cherokee nation created this petition.
When was it made? The speech was given on March 13, 1775. The petition was made in 1836, there is no exact date given. What are two things you know about the personal background or beliefs of the person or group who created it? (4-5 sentences) Patrick Henry had a modest upbringing with no formal education, despite this he became a quite powerful writer and speaker. These particular skills later became very valuable in his political career. Henry was a well- known anti-federalist, meaning he believed in a strong central form of government and an advocate for the creation of the Bill of Rights. By 1836, the Cherokee nation had adopted many aspects of American culture, including forming a government modeled after that of the United States, creating a written language, and even established schools. The Cherokees, like many other tribes, faced challenges in maintaining their sovereignty and resisting forced relocation. Was the source meant to be public or private? If public, who do you think was the intended audience? (4-5 sentences) As this was a speech, it was meant to be public. The intended audience was the general public facing British oppression, as well as fellow politicians and leaders. The source was derived from the house documents of the United States so I believe that it is meant to be semi-private. The intended audience is the American government, including lawmakers and policy writers. Part 3: Interpret its Meaning: Historical Context Primary Source 1 Primary Source 2 Describe two other 1.
