About the book
Common Sense is a pamphlet by Thomas Paine, an Englishman who had moved to Philadelphia in 1774. It first appeared, without his name, on January 10, 1776, when fighting between Britain and its American colonies had already begun but many colonists still hoped to make peace with the king. Paine argued in forceful, everyday language for complete independence.
