Who was the author of the widely read pamphlet "Common Sense," which galvanized the American Independence movement?
Possible Answers:
Patrick Henry
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Paine
Thomas Jefferson
Samuel Adams
Correct answer:
Thomas Paine
Explanation:
Thomas Paine was neither a politician nor a civic leader, but simply a talented writer who passionately argued for the rights of colonists. His "Common Sense," (1776) an engaging pamphlet advocating for the rights of colonists against the tyranny of the British crown, was the most widely read piece of writing in the colonies during the mid 1770s. Its widespread popularity was a major catalyst for the politicians and leaders to organize a revolutionary movement.
