The American Crisis is a collection of essays written by Thomas Paine during the American Revolution. The essays were originally published in various newspapers between 1776 and 1783, and were intended to inspire and motivate the American colonists to continue their fight for independence from Great Britain. Paine’s writing is passionate and persuasive, and he uses vivid language and powerful metaphors to convey his message. The essays cover a range of topics, from the importance of perseverance and unity to the role of government in society. Paine’s message is clear: the American cause is just and worthy of sacrifice, and victory is within reach if the colonists remain committed to their ideals. The American Crisis is a seminal work of American literature and an important historical document that captures the spirit of the American Revolution.THESE are the times that try men’s souls.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 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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
