" "Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. Edward Carrington, who was listening outside a window of the church, requested that he be buried on that spot. In 1810, he got his wish."
