ANSWER:
In 1776, Thomas Paine published his pamphlet Common Sense, a brilliant statement of the colonists' cause.
This pamphlet demanded complete independence from Great Britain and the establish- ment of a strong federal union. It also contained a brilliant attack on the idea of monarchy and inherited privilege.
Paine asserted that the American Revolution would begin a new era in world history.
"The birthday of a new world is at hand," he wrote.
There were a number of pamphlets and flyers arguing the political issues in the pre-revolutionary American colonies, but the one that far and away captured the attention of the most people was "Common Sense", published anonymously but actually written by Thomas Paine. He began writing it in 1775, and its 1776 publication was perfectly timed to give it a key role in bringing thousands of people over to the revolutionary movement at a crucial moment.Once the Revolutionary War had begun, Paine continued writing pamphlets ("The American Crisis" series) to support the cause, inspire the soldiers and encourage the politicians and leaders who guided the difficult struggle.Incidentally, a significant percentage of the population couldn't read, so the impact of the pamphlets were more than a little dependent upon the oratorical skills of those who read Paine's words aloud. Even today Paine's writing rings more dramatically when spoken aloud (like Shakespeare's) rather than when trapped flat on the page.
Thomas Paine's pamphlet, Common Sense, argued that the British had no reason to rule the whole nation of America. Even if Britain claimed to be the 'mother country' of America, the actions Britain took were horrendous, almost moreso with this context, as no mother would harm her child so.
so wh is she so important
It was so important because they protected Chicago from traders
yes there will be cause i said so
Common sense is not so common. My most common sense is my sense of humor. Some early American Colonist wrote a book called "Common Sense".
No, I don't think so because the common sense changed the way the colonies viewed the king and made a strong case for economic freedom. So basically it pretty much caused the whole we're gonna be independent thing.
Wrote by Thomas Paine and wrote to pursuade colonist to join the Patriots.
No, I don't think so because the common sense changed the way the colonies viewed the king and made a strong case for economic freedom. So basically it pretty much caused the whole we're gonna be independent thing.
I don't think so because common sense is the accumulation of ordinary day-to-day knowledge that we refer to as common sense.
This quote is attributed to Voltaire
It's believed to be responsible for the residents of the 13 colonies deciding in favor of independence.
It was important because it led the colonies (Pennsylvania and South Carolina) to seek independence and this led to the Revolutionary war.
Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense, which was published in 1776, was important because it was the first to publicly and openly request independence from Great Britain, doing so in a way that could be understood by the common people. Its publication earned Paine the nickname of The Father of the American Revolution. In asking for independence, the pamphlet questioned the previously unchallenged authority of the British government and the royal monarchy, and offered the alternative of a break from tradition and historical practice.
so many people read common sense because it was in a language everyone could understand
Because it is so rare
Why was Common Sense so popular when America was declaring independence
