Born in 1737 in England, Thomas Paine rose from humble beginnings to become a pivotal writer advocating for ordinary citizens. His 1776 pamphlet, 'Common Sense', effectively unified the arguments for American independence against British rule, challenging hereditary rights and the monarchy's claims on colonists. The pamphlet resonated deeply, selling 100,000 copies within two months and igniting a national desire for freedom. Paine's enduring legacy as a champion of human rights and social justice continues to inspire movements for independence worldwide.
