In 1776 author Thomas Paine publishes his pamphlet called "Common Sense", which was a compilation of his arguments in favor of the american independence from the British crown.
Paine's Common Sense was one of the most influential pamphlets of the time, as it helped to spread the ideas of the importance for every colonial citizen to fight for independence. This movement that the author helped to begin was later transformed in the Revolution, and lastly in the Declaration of Independence of the United States.
