Librivox's public domain recording of Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.
This speech was given March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia, and is credited with having singlehandedly convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution delivering the Virginia troops to the Revolutionary War. In attendance were Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Reportedly, the crowd, upon hearing the speech, jumped up and shouted, "To Arms! To Arms!"

Subject: Excellent reading!
This reading is a very fine piece of oratory. It's not just a reading, but a recreation of the original speech, in the style of the day, but in our accents, very well acted. I got chills!
