New Hampshire's Motto

{{edit semi-protected "Patrick Henry’s words were powerful and amply striking that an entire state population of New Hampshire adopted them as their motto." }}

I would like to add the following sentence under sections in Patrick Henry's Misplaced Pages page that discuss his political speeches where there is not mention whatsoever of his popular phrase being adopted by the State of New Hampshire as its motto, but a bullying has resulted in disregarding other possibilities including that oral stories commonly practiced in ancient New England preserved Henry's words during times of excessive tyrannical rule, because of frequent acts of terror including burnings of property and materials: "Wyatt's words were powerful and amply striking that an entire state population of New Hampshire adopted them as their motto."

Continental Association

Hello @Wehwalt:. Would beg to differ that "helped to draft and signed the Continental Association" does not merit first paragraph status (and at the moment it isn't mentioned in the lead at all). Those acts, in addition to the speech, are what qualify Henry for Founding Father status. The Association remains the main American document before the Declaration, and foreshadowed it by bringing together the colonies in a unified stand, written and enforced. Its considerable importance stands out in American history, and hopefully will be focused on in 2024 as a precursor to the 2026 250th birthday of the nation. Seeing that it was missing here actually put me on a track to put up a P. Henry template tomorrow (if the creek don't rise, etc.), and studying Henry's contributions it stands out as arguably one of his two greatest achievements and lead-paragraph worthy.

Given that the lead is a reflection and high-level summary of the body, we would need sources, perhaps in the legacy section, that attest to the importance of Henry's actions in this regard to put it in the lead paragraph like that. What about putting it later in the lead, as part of the biography summary?--Wehwalt (talk) 09:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
My mistake in emphasizing Henry's influence on the draft of the Association, I was thinking of the Petition to the King. Yes, mention later in the lead of the Association, as well as the petition, seems appropriate, especially since Henry's signing of the Association later gave him Founding Father status as it came to be defined (signing any of the four founding documents is the golden ticket).

In this paragraph, change A Founding Father to As a Founding Father.

Patrick Henry (May 29, 1736 – June 6, 1799) was an American attorney, planter, politician and orator known for declaring to the Second Virginia Convention (1775): "Give me liberty, or give me death!" A Founding Father, he served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia, from 1776 to 1779 and from 1784 to 1786. Therman5902 (talk) 02:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to say "as a founding father, he served as ... Governor of Virginia."--Wehwalt (talk) 05:57, 20 May 2022
