Thomas Paine helped to inspire the American Revolution. In “Common Sense”‚ published in January 1776‚ Thomas Paine said that the Colonists should aim for complete independence from Britain.

According to Thomas Paine‚ the new world does an exemplary job at keeping everything in “cordial unison.” Paine claims that in America “the poor are not oppressed‚ the rich are not privileged….Their taxes are few‚ because their government is just; and as there is nothing to render them wretched‚ there is nothing to engender riots and tumults.”
