During that time the British military had been greatly increasing its presence in the colonies.
- What Henry had actually said in that address is still a question, but it helped to solidify the Virginians' opposition to any British military action in that territory.
- Since the Stamp Act was established in the year 1765, relations between the colonies and the government in Great Britain had already continuously gotten worse.
- Henry discussed the events in Philadelphia and the need to arm militias in Virginia in case British soldiers attempted to occupy the area.
- There was some hostility to any kind of organisation against the king in Virginia, but according to testimonies from attendees of the sessions, the amiable Henry made an urgent plea to close the convention.
