Thomas Paine Timed Writing Thomas Paine claims‚ in “Rights of Man”‚ that America is an unexpected union of different people‚ religions‚ and cultures.

I agree with Paine because these principles hold true today in American society. America is filled with “people from different nations‚ accustomed to different life forms and habits of government…”

Thomas Paine’s characterization of America in 1791 isn’t very true today. In America today‚ there is poverty‚ scandalous governments‚ and riots that go against everything that Paine believed.

America’s lack of unison‚ its inability to resolve tensions between society and the individual‚ and its economic disparity has prevented Paine’s presentation of American society from developing into a realistic portrayal of the country. While American society has been plagued with social
