Common Sense

Required reading for Every American

“Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. ” ― Thomas Paine, Common Sense

Read the political pamphlet that sparked the American war for independence. Common Sense was published in 1776 and took the colonies by storm with its case for a separation from Great Britain and a rousing call to action.
