American Crisis aka "The Crisis"
by Thomas Paine
'American Crisis aka "The Crisis"' Summary
In his series of thirteen pamphlets entitled "The Crisis," Thomas Paine, writing as "Common Sense," powerfully argued for American independence during the Revolutionary War. Paine's compelling prose and unwavering conviction inspired the colonists to persevere in their fight against British rule. His famous opening line, "These are the times that try men's souls," became a rallying cry for the cause of liberty. Throughout the pamphlets, Paine denounced the evils of tyranny, celebrated the virtues of freedom, and appealed to the colonists' sense of honor and patriotism. He denounced any compromise with the British, arguing that true independence could only be achieved through complete separation. Paine's writings not only bolstered the morale of the Continental Army but also influenced public opinion both in America and abroad. His powerful words contributed significantly to the colonists' ultimate victory and the establishment of the United States of America.Book Details
