After Thomas Paine was born,he was a typical school kid who then turned into this amazing leader who gave food and clothes to people in the American Revolution.
Because it was just common sense for the 13 colonies to fight for independence.
Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775. It was the inspiration for colonial independence in the United States.It was a pamphlet that gave courage to Americans so they could fight for their freedom from British rule.
Based on my reading, I would say that Thomas Paine's influence was more to the people than the government. The losses of the Continental Army and the effect of the English habitation and propaganda were crushing what remained of our independent spirit. Common Sense gave people, especially the soldier, something to hold on to, and gave them will to continue. Those were the times that tried mens souls, without a doubt. I believe the people then had a better sense of what they wanted from government. Remember, we did not have a Constitution yet. Hope this helps.
Paine predicts that Britain will tax the Americans heavily and what Thomas Paine also states; "to BIND us [American colonists] in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER."Britain has a large lack in respect towards America and Paine believes that some Americans do not see the evil in Britain and have hopes that the enemy (Britain) will be merciful.

Paine was a journalist and wrote the handbills "Common Sense." The pamphlet gave colonists a different view of the problems with the king. It made a case for economic freedom. This created a movement towards the independence that would come later.
According to the National Archives, Thomas Jefferson was the first to use the term "United States of America" in writing the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Paine had earlier referred to the colonies as "Free and independent States of America."
