"if I am asked what is to be done when a people feel themselves intolerably oppressed, my answer is ready:  OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT." Patrick Henry 1799

Why do Northern apologists call this Virginian a patriot when 62 years later other Virginians followed his advice and are labeled rebels and traitors?

Actually the later Virginians didn't want to overthrow the government, they just wanted to be left alone...
