Thomas Paine’s COMMON SENSE proved to be one of the most influential publications during the American Revolution. Published anonymously by Paine in early 1776, COMMON SENSE was an instant bestseller, with more than than 120,000 copies distributed. In COMMON SENSE, Paine advocated the independence of the American colonies from the British Empire, providing a number of grievances against the British to justify action.
