Refuting Patrick Henry

I belive that patrick henry,  I am against the ideas of patrick henry since, he says we should battle against the british to stop all the injustie, but why fight?, we should find other ways, to solve this problems, war will leave so maany deaths and problems for both sides while negociations would help both, Henry says british are regrouping units in America, but that is not enough proof thath they will start war with us, We should organize and  mantain calm do pacific protests against the british andtry to get representation if we organize ourselves we could win a battle, not a battlee fought with with weapons, but a battle fought with our minds, Henry says "give me liberty, or give me death," but i say what y say what liberty, we already have it, yes we have the liberty of taking our own desicions wich at the end is better than death, die if thats what you want but we will have liberty, without war, we will have liberty without death and most importsnt we will have liberty for sure!!!
