Patrick Henry's speech "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death."
"Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us."
Does this excerpt from the speech has some sort of Emotional Appeal in it since it is stating that God is on their side?

Of course, and because of other phrases like 'holy cause of liberty'. It could not be intellectual appeal.
