Common Sense, version 4

Published in January 1776, 'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine is a pivotal pamphlet advocating for American independence from British rule. Originally intended as a newspaper piece titled 'Plain Truth', it quickly gained popularity and became a significant influence on public opinion in the Thirteen Colonies. Paine's arguments for self-governance and critique of monarchy played a crucial role in shaping revolutionary thought during the American Revolution.
