Henry didn't write this speech down. He didn't even write down any notes, and he certainly didn't give the speech a title. He just got up and said his piece, making every other speechmaker everywhere look like a total amateur…because Patrick Henry was just that amazing.

Later on, other people started calling it "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" (exclamation mark included) in reference to the last and most famous line. The whole speech is about the necessity of fighting (and hey: maybe dying) for liberty, so it's pretty appropriate.

Plus, it sounds way more metal than just "Give Me Liberty."
