C. Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine was an English-born American political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary. He published the pamphlet "Common Sense" on January 10, 1776, which presented the American colonists with an argument for freedom from British rule at a time when the question of seeking independence was still undecided. Paine wrote in a style that was accessible to the common people, making "Common Sense" hugely influential in shifting public opinion in favor of the Revolution.
