WHERES OUR COMMON SENSE?

   







      





Thomas Paine was the author of a very important pamphlet called Common Sense that was published in 1776. He wrote a compelling argument for independence from Great Britain. His pamphlet convinced many colonists and founding fathers of the wisdom of open rebellion against the British if necessary. Further, he published another pamphlet called The Crisis during the Revolutionary War that helped spur on the soldiers to fight.

i sometimes want to revolt against things that are going on
in our country. i sometimes wonder what happened to us?
i sometimes wonder what we could do to get back on the
right track.
