Thomas Paine |

| During the 1770s political philosopher and writer Thomas Paine agitated for American independence from Britain. One of the most eloquent figures of the period, Paine voiced American revolutionary sentiments with his 1776 pamphlet, Common Sense. In the popular and inspirational pamphlet, Paine asserted that Great Britain exploited the American colonies and contributed nothing to America’s well-being. | ||||||
