Common Sense by Thomas Paine

Common Sense is a famous pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. In this powerful piece of writing, Paine argued that the American colonies should break away from British rule and become independent.

He used clear and simple language to explain why independence was important for the colonists and how it could lead to a better future. This pamphlet inspired many colonists to support the idea of freedom from British control.
