Britain. One difference between the two works is their format. Patrick Henry is considered to be the most compelling orator of the American Revolution. His "Speech to the Convention" was exactly that‚ a speech that was meant to be read aloud. His oration helped to motivate many colonists to seek their independence from Great Britain (Carroll 184).
