This quote does not appear online before 2003, but "Give me liberty or give me death" certainly showed up online before 2003.<br /><br />http://www.dpsinfo.com/goodquotes.htmlLaurie Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886124993171547304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533010775907799154.post-49925593559381882862013-04-09T23:37:43.532-07:002013-04-09T23:37:43.532-07:00Thanks!

Did you learn how to debate on the internet?<br /><br />A search for "A republic cannot stand upon bayonets" on the Google Books database (http://bit.ly/USDgjF)does indeed turn up a use in 1901 in something called Proceedings of the National Convention of the Socialist Labor Party.Larry Cebulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798046652983001155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533010775907799154.post-28388762623405820092012-12-11T07:59:14.083-08:002012-12-11T07:59:14.083-08:00Hey, Matt, what a way to go!

It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when that day comes, when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nation to the changed conditions."<br />Earliest attribution I could find was 1901 Proceedings of the National Labor Socialist Party.<br />Thanks for the inspiration!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565078599487595765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533010775907799154.post-65297646769410784712010-09-25T09:29:27.828-07:002010-09-25T09:29:27.828-07:00As you point out, this one doesn't even pass t...As you point out, this one doesn't even pass the smell test, since Henry opposed the Constitution on the grounds that Henry believed it constrained the people's liberties.Marc Fergusonhttp://historicalmemory.googlepages.comnoreply@blogger.com
