the crisis was written half a year after the declaration of indepedence was signed(which was kind of a signal of war) and this was written for the soldiers who were fighting hard(not the lazy, wussy ones-which he mentions in the first sentence referring to them as "summer soldiers" and "sunshine patrios") but that they must keep on fighting. this will be a hard victory to win but there is no reason that they should stop doing what they are doing because it is their duty to beat the King(who is referred to as a criminal) and the British in general( who are referred to as the devils). In a way it is also towards the tories basicall saying how much he hates them. He says that Britain can't do this anymore. they have been claiming that this opresion they have put on the colonies is not slavery..but then what is slavery? asks Paine.

Hope it helped :D
