Publisher's summary
Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776, a time when America was a hotbed of revolution. The pamphlet, which called for America's political freedom, sold more than 150,000 copies in three months. Paine not only spurred his fellow Americans to action but soon came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. His persuasive pieces, written so elegantly, spoke to the hearts and minds of all those fighting for freedom from England.

Great read for everyone to remember what independence is about
Thomas paine’s common sense is a great listen for those who found value and dont discriminate people based on religion and spoke against enslavement of people in the Americas. If you listen close Paine argues for a separation of Church and Politics (appendix) thats a great reminder for people in America today that government and society are too separate things. And using government to force society to remain stagnant is poison to our very foundation. He says America should be free of kings rule and pity wars and shouldn’t have/had kept and connection with. Unfortunately that would remain true in the 1800’/ and on
