Patrick Henry: Demagoguery and Propaganda Modern historians often claim that Patrick Henry tended toward demagoguery and propaganda in his 1775 Speech to the Second Virginia Convention. I agree with these modern historians on the basis of Henry’s constant use of emotional appeals (pathos) and rhetorical devices such as parallel syntax, allusions, and irony to name a few.

This corruption is most apparently shown through instances of demagoguery by the novel’s characters, the unjustified exile of Snowball, and the manipulation of the original principles of Animalism.
