Patrick
Henry, Orator of the Revolution, by McCormick Distilling  Company, the
American Porcelain Company ... A tense uncertainty had gripped the
British colonies in North America since the Boston Port Act had been
passed by Parliament in March 1774. The colonists had reacted to this
burdensome port closure by organizing a provincial government body
called the First Continental Congress which met in Philadelphia.
Virginia had choose the young and audacious Patrick Henry as one of that
colony's delegates. He had already gained fame as the lawyer for the
colony in the celebrated "Parson's Cause", as a member of the Virginia
House of Burgesses representing the Piedmont area, and for his part in
opposing the obnoxious Stamp Tax. He had become a favorite politician of
the back-country small farmer and attempted to justify their faith in
him.  Though the early years of the Revolution, Patrick Henry struggled
with the organization of Virginia's government while opposing attempts
of the Continental Congress to usurp the rights of his state. He also
defended George Washington from the intrigues that tried to put command
of the Continental Army in other hands. Whiskey Decanters by McCormick,
