how does Henry further his purpose by addressing the concerns of those who wonder if another course of action besides war might be available?

Possibly this will help....... Henry's purpose in the speech is to convince the other delegates to fight against the British. He is inspirational, firm, and forthcoming. He uses flattery, facts, and summation. He addresses certain concerns using examples, namely, the peaceful options that have already been tried and failed; the British claims that they have peaceful intents, all while building up a larger military presence in the colonies; as well as the conflicts that are already taking place.
