That singular line proclaimed by Patrick Henry defined our country's founding generation and has become one of the most famous lines in American history. In just 7 words, the ethos of our country and our fierce loyalty to liberty was promulgated. In our chat today, we discuss the events leading up to this famous line and its subsequent impact in our country's history. To offer his expertise on this topic, we are happy to welcome Dr. Thomas Kidd, research professor of Church History at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/constitutional-chats-presented-by-constituting-america-280406/episodes/ep-295-constitutional-chats-podcast-thomas-kidd-give-me-liberty-the-speech-that-sparked-a-revolution/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/constitutional-chats-presented-by-constituting-america-280406/ep-295-constitutional-chats-podcast-thomas-kidd-give-me-liberty-the-speech-that-sparked-a-revolution.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
