Example of Fallacy in Patrick Henry Speech

1) "Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?"

2) This is an example of loaded questions because Henry is trying to get the audience to say no to this question in their heads. This way, he come right back and say that they were "meant for us". This allows him to feed his desirable answer into the mind of the audience.

3) Even though Patrick Henry's speech is full of fallacy, his ability to deliver it with passion gains him great emotional favor with the audience. In fact, a sizeable margin of the speech uses pathos to spark the patriotism inside the audience, thus making his speech highly popular as a turning point in American History.
