Who said 'These are the times that try men's souls'?
""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.

Why does Adams dislike Hamilton so much?
No, John Adams did not personally hate Thomas Paine.In a letter to his wife, John Adams wrote that the author of Common Sense (Thomas Paine) "[had] a better hand at pulling down than building." Although he agreed with Paine that American independence from Great Britain was desperately needed, he disagreed with some of the sentiments espoused by Paine's famous pamphlet. Chief among them were Paine's use of the Bible to prove the illegitimacy of monarchy by calling it "one of the sins of the Jews," the way the pamphlet illuded that war with Great Britain would end in a quick victory, and most importantly Paine's vision of a unicameral legislature after the war.Adams did not hate Paine, however, he did disagree strongly with some of the ideas Paine layed out in Common Sense. It is also important to note that Adams, along with most revolutionaries at the time, thought very highly of Common Sense, he even went so far as to call it the "common faith."
