Episode 46
Thomas Paine
Common Sense
Welcome Patriots!
This is the shows 46th episode and today, we are going to talk about a man that many have heard of, as well as the remarkable impact his words on parchment had on the entire cause, the civilians and more importantly, the Continental Army itself.
I am talking about Thomas Paine. I will discuss his auspicious beginning, we will dive into two of his most famous writings, “The American Crisis” and “Common Sense,” and how well they sold and the impact they had will likely amaze you. I will also talk about what he did after the war, which did NOT help his popularity any. Then, I will talk about what happened happened after his death, well, what happened to his body, which is hard to fathom. It’s odd, funny and sad at the same time.
