Patrick Henry was perhaps the greatest orator the country has ever had. If not the greatest, he was up near the top. One of the many amazing things I admire about the Founders is the ability they had to speak and do it extemporaneously. If you get a chance, read some of Patrick Henry's speeches. They are really something.
I believe the Founders were the most educated group of people ever gathered in one place in history. It is really interesting to read how they were educated in those days. It's a shame of how people today do not take advantage of the learning opportunities available. Today, I believe we have perhaps the most uneducated generation in the history of America. Oh, they know a lot but they are not educated.
