Thomas Paine

Common Sense is a pro-independence pamphlet written by Thomas Paine and published anonymously on January 10, 1776. It played a crucial role in advocating for American independence from Britain, selling an estimated 500,000 copies during the Revolutionary War. The pamphlet presents a compelling argument for a complete break from British rule and promotes republicanism, significantly influencing public opinion and recruitment for the Continental Army.
