Thomas Paine, the American author and revolutionary, was an only child for most of his life. When Thomas was two years old, his parents had a second child, Elizabeth - but she died soon after birth.
""These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." These words were written by Thomas Paine, propagandist extraordinaire. They are the first two sentences of the first volume of The Crisis, also known as The American Crisis, a series of sixteen pamphlets written by Paine, beginning shortly before the Battle of Trenton, which took place on December 26, 1776. Paine's writings improved morale at a time when it was much needed, when many people were doubtful about the probability of success; some were fearful of committing treason and others even thought that it was blasphemy, because Kings were thought to derive their power directly from God. Paine explained what the issues behind the Revolution were, and how important they were, in words that everyone could understand. His stirring words inspired the Colonials to fight on and even converted some of those who had previously been neutral.
Only six people attended his funeral, two of whom were his former slaves.
