A Letter Addressed to the ABBE Raynal

Immigrating to the American colonies at 37, Thomas Paine emerged as a pivotal figure in the revolutionary movement. Known for his influential works, particularly "Common Sense" and "The American Crisis," he championed independence from Great Britain. Responding to the Abbe Raynal's French account of the American Revolution, which contained inaccuracies, Paine aimed to clarify the true causes and principles behind the conflict, providing a more accurate perspective on the revolutionary struggle.
