What people remember most about thomas Paine?
He was a patrot of sorts. Surely a politcal figure during the revolutionary war and uprising. But he was more or less a figure that helped provok the war. Think of it this way. He wrote out these ideas of basic rights. Freedom of speech, Religion and Pursuit of Hpaainess. These ideas helped inspire the war but when the war actually broke out he kind of went underground. Honestly I would too, you just gave a malitia reasoning and power to start war and if they loose you are the first to be hanged, murilaited and burned. XD
Did Thomas Paine write Common Sense?
There is a fair amount of circumstantial evidence that supports the position that Ben Franklin had at least a hand in, if he did not serve as the actual author of Common Sense. Thomas Paine had been born in England and had made little of himself by the time that he met the American diplomat to England, Benjamin Franklin. Franklin, having already had a history of writing under a pseudonym in his brother's publication, and having been a brilliant publicist and diplomat, was suspect for having authored Common Sense. Franklin, sensing the righteousness of an American uprising against Britain, was also well aware that such an uprising would never succeed nor would it ever be able to convince the French monarchy to assist the American cause, were it not for the enlistment of the people. The people's representatives meeting in Philadelphia could not be counted upon to stir the passions of the people. Franklin, sensing this, sponsored Paine's journey to the New World and establishing himself in Philadelphia. The original publications of "Common Sense" were published anonymously. They were later attributed to Paine. Years later, after Franklin represented the young American republic to France, Paine traveled to France and, here again, much credit was given to him for inciting the popular passions of the French revolution. Much of the writing style and content of "Common Sense" was consistent with the writings and beliefs of Benjamin Franklin. After Franklin's return to America, the writings of Paine seem to have changed, taking on a looseness. Paine died from cirrhosis of the liver, presumably from excessive consumption of alcohol. - Dr. Robert W. Smith
