As governor, this man sent George Rogers Clark to invade the Illinois Country. William Wirtwrote some "Sketches of the Life and Character of" this man. He defended Hanover County parishin a lawsuit filed by James Maury over whether clerical salaries could be paid in cash when tobaccoprices became inflated. That (*) "Parson's Cause" case helped make the reputation of this man, who latergave a speech that drew yells of "treason!" after he proclaimed, "Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the Firsthis Cromwell" and "If this be treason, make the most of it". He opposed the Stamp Act in the VirginiaResolves, and was the first post-independence Governor of Virginia. For 10 points, name this colonialorator who proclaimed, "Give me liberty or give me death!"
