First published in January of 1776, "Common Sense" fanned the flames of
independence already sparking among the thirteen colonies. George
Washington found the pamphlet so important that he had it read aloud to
his troops. He later commented, "I find that 'Common Sense' is working a
powerful change...in the minds of many men." Highly influential, this
landmark persuasive document which Paine wrote to incite the colonists
to action is as relevant today as when it was first printed.
