I think most UK-ers would agree with me that we have just about heard of Patrick Henry, because of that one famous 'quotable quote' sentence in one famous speech; but he is far from a name to conjure with here, like Lincoln, say: tho he does seem to be so over your side.

As to this other guy, now, Nathan Hale:- Can't say I have ever heard of him before, however well-known his FLW may be to you guys. I suspect that 999 in 1000 Brits to whom his name was mentioned would reply blankly, "Who?"

Any on this side of The Pond disagree with that?
