Thomas Paine

  On January 29, 1737, Thomas Paine was born in Thetford, England. His father, a
corseter, had grand visions for his son, but by the age of 12, Thomas had failed out of
school. The young Paine began apprenticing for his father, but again, he failed. So, now
age 19, Paine went to sea. This adventure didn't last too long, and by 1768 he found
himself as an excise (tax) officer in England. In Log Term he became a Good writer who
talked about basically everything that pissed him up about being in the colonist you se
he knows because his father was from England and he is from England so he has the
idea of the wrong things he does.

  Paine attacked divine right - monarchs should not be chosen arbitarily by birth.
Paine wrote in very plain and easy to understand English. Unlike many others the
ordinary person could understand what he was saying. THis helped to get people on his
side and for people to rally to the cause.

 Paine was at the forefront of the political Enlightenment - everything can be proven
and explained through rational investigation. Because of this Thomas panes Writings
were so important one of the most Important writings was common sense. That
explained clearly his ideas and made all of the colonists inspired by him. References to attract and gain the attention of the common man, whom at the time practically all were religious.This writing caused many spirits among the colonist it gave  like the hope of a new country it especified how would it be with the independance what Paine did was very important even thought it was not legal what he wanted was the
freedom of the colonists.
