  • The American Crisis by Thomas Paine is one of the most influential pieces of literature in American history. Written in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War, Paine’s work is a powerful call to patriotism and action. In it, he presents a compelling argument for American independence and a strong commitment to the values of freedom and democracy. He also speaks to the harsh realities of war and the need for collective action. As a fierce advocate of liberty, Paine’s words still resonate today and have inspired generations of Americans. The American Crisis is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of the United States of America. “THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated...” Thomas Paine's The American Crisis is an essential addition to the library of any lover of liberty and is essential reading for any lover of American history and the American system of government. These are the words that inspired America's first generation of patriots and should prove to be equally inspiring to patriots of the modern day. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an English-born revolutionary philosopher, political theorist, and author who is best remembered for his highly influential writings, such as Common Sense and The Rights of Man. Born in Thetford, England, Paine was apprenticed to his father, a stay-maker, before relocating to London where he found work as a corset-maker. After immigrating to Colonial America in 1774, Paine quickly became involved in revolutionary politics. He wrote Common Sense in 1776, a highly influential pamphlet that made a powerful case for American independence from Great Britain. His other works, such as The Rights of Man, cemented his reputation as one of the most important revolutionary thinkers of the period. In addition to his political writing, Paine also wrote on a variety of other topics, including religion, science, and economics. He was an advocate for the abolition of slavery and a proponent of social reform. He ardently defended the principles of democracy, arguing in favor of a strong and representative government. He was also an ardent critic of government, and his writings were often critical of the ruling classes of the day. In addition to his revolutionary writings, Paine also made important contributions to the development of the sciences. He wrote extensively on geology, chemistry, and physics. His works on these topics helped to further the development of the scientific revolution of the 18th century. Paine's influence extended far beyond the American Revolution, and his works were widely read in Europe and beyond. His writings were highly influential in the French Revolution and in the development of many of the constitutional principles adopted by the United States. Throughout his life, Thomas Paine was a passionate advocate for freedom, democracy, and social justice. His writings helped to shape the political landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and remain an important source of inspiration for modern-day activists.
