Thomas Paine was a radical writer who emigrated from England to America in 1774. Just two years later, early in 1776, Paine published Common Sense, a hugely influential pamphlet that convinced many American colonists that the time had finally come to break away from British rule.

Hope this helped! :)

Political activist and revolutionary, Thomas Paine was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He wrote the "Common Sense" and "The American Crisis", two very powerful pamphlets that ignited the patriots into starting the revolution declaring the independence from England.
