Answer:
Hi there
One huge difference between Henry and Jefferson is their difference as individual person, views, and politics. The similarity is that they both want people to be free plus they all wanted to get rid of bad British rule over the colonies. The purpose of Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence was to abolish all allegiances to Great Britain and be set free from unfair taxes, tyrannical rule, and unfair treatment. The purpose of Henry's Virginia Convention Speech was to persuade the colonists to enter into war against Great Britain. Henry’s speech is more demanding than the Declaration of Independence. His tone is aggressive because he wants to persuade the audience to agree with what he believes is right. He contradicts Henry on the grounds that he did not want a war to harm innocent people and their lives.
Have a nice day!!
