It was Patrick Henry in the Virginia House of Burgesses in late May 1765. His speech was made in an attempt to persuade the House to pass his resolutions that condemned Parliament's Stamp Act, which taxed paperwork of various kinds, including wills and playing cards. As he spoke, he said that Caesar had his Brutus, that Charles had his Cromwell, and that George the Third.... But at the mention of the name of the king, many of those who opposed the resolutions erupted with shouts of "Treason," "Expel that man," and "Silence the Traitor." Determined to finish his statement, Henry shouted above the tumult, "George the Third may profit by their example!" There were more calls of "Treason," to which Henry replied "If this be treason, then make the most of it."
It is interesting to note that a young Thomas Jefferson, though not yet elected to the House of Burgesses, was present at this debate as a spectator. It was at this time that the revolutionary fire was lit in the heart of the man who would become the author of the Declaration of Independence.
The quote "If this be treason, make the most of it" is attributed to Patrick Henry. Henry made this statement during a speech he gave at the Virginia Convention in 1775, expressing his commitment to fighting for the American colonies' independence from Britain.
