Best Answer

A midwife is someone who is trained to assist in childbirth.

Thomas Paine is sometimes said to have been midwife to the United States, but this is not meant literally.

Thomas Paine was a writer around the time of the Revolutionary War in the US. He wrote widely circulated pamphlets arguing for Independence. In this way he was very influential to the "birth" of the United States.
