Author Thomas Paine inspired a country with his patriotic pamphlet known as Common Sense. It was published anonymously in January of 1776. He used this piece of political literature to focus revolutionists against the British monarch, King George III. It became an immediate best-seller in the colonies and even Britain itself and directly influenced the American Declaration of Independence. Without this one small piece of literature in American history, there may not have been an American history.
