Thomas Paine

In the mind of the American Revolutionary, Thomas Paine, 'Common Sense' was independence. In the publication of the same name, Paine argued passionately (and, in fact, influentially) that nothing could be more sensible -- or, common-sensical -- than that a people governed by an unjust ruler should fight both to achieve their natural dignity and freedom and to maintain the same against any who might seek to take it away once more.

Published in 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The plain language that Paine used spoke to the common people of America and was the first work to openly ask for independence from Great Britain.

Yes, Thomas Paine did fight in the revolutionary war.

Well, that is hard to explain in a short way, but his parents had different religion,which must have been hard for him
His childhood was bad.

"Common Sense", probably the most famous of Paine's various pamphlets published during that time, galvanized public opinion around the idea of independence from England (popular support for the idea was lukewarm prior to "Common Sense").

For monarchies and economics:

Monarchies: ridiculed the idea that kings ruled by the will of God. Paine argued that all monarchies were corrupt.

Economics: he said that corn will fetch its price in any market in Europe. He thought that America should follow its own destiny.

Common Sense, The Crisis, The Rights of Man, Age of Reason.

He displayed smarts and a very good people person and he was very brave because he fought in world war 2!

Thomas Paine urged Americans to fight for their own independence. The reference to beasts of the fields was to remind people that this was the way oppressive kings and governments treated their citizens. People weren't free, they were slaves to their rulers.
