During the Revolutionary War, the colonists split into sides. They were either loyalists (they wanted to stay under the King of England's rule), patriots (they wanted their own government), or neutralists (they didn't really care). Thomas Paine then wrote a short book called Common Sense, which was literally about common sense. He said logically that the colonists were being treated unfairly by the King and it was common sense that they shouldn't have to put up with it. This ultimately ended up convincing many of the neutralists and some of the loyalists as well to join the patriots' side. Without the extra support, America may not have become what it is today. That was before the Revolutionary War to provide justification to neurtral or undecided people to revolt against Britain. He also wrote The American Crisis to reprimand soldiers at Valley Forge who were quitting the army because of the cold. This pamphlet motivated them to stay strong so that their children could have peace.

Thomas Paine was on the side of the Americans, and greatly influenced many others to join his side. The main way that he did this was by writing a short book called "Common Sense", and this explained why it was just common sense America to join the revolution.
Thomas Paine published article after article for the cause of freedom in his Philadelphia Magazine. That magazine not only carried reasons to oppose King George but also carried news about the cause for freedom throughout the colonies. On July 5, 1776, he published a copy containing The Declaration of Independence. He also published books. He wrote one called Common Sense which explained the need for freedom from England.
Thomas Paine was considered a patriot, a great writer, and an excellent speaker. In January of 1776, the publication of Common Sense, a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine, boosted the notion of complete independence for America.
Paine had only arrived from Britain, having been encouraged to come by Benjamin Franklin. He quickly caught the spirit of the American struggle. In plain words that everyone could understand, Paine boldly advocated independence. He pointed out how silly it was for a continent to be ruled by an island. He showed how ridiculous it was for leadership of a nation to be passed down within one family. Paine wanted a "republic" with an elected head.
Thousands of Americans read Common Sense, and their feelings were hardened into firm convictions. Demands for independence were heard in several legislatures. In April, North Carolina, instructed its delegates in Congress to vote for independence. Virginia did the same in May.
On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented the Second Continental Congress with a resolution that the "united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states." The resolution would pass on July 2, 1776. From this, on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read to the assembled delegates. It passed and was adopted with only minor changes. The nature of the war had changed. It was now a struggle for total independence.
