About this listen

In 1775 the American colonies were a hotbed of political discord. Many of the British policies, specifically taxes, had caused American colonial leaders to consider the unthinkable: declaring independence from the British Empire and its King George. One such leader, Thomas Paine, wrote Common Sense: a pamphlet that explained the advantages of immediate and complete independence. In 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed, Common Sense became a national sensation and has remained an important part of American history.

Must read for people who want to know freedom

This book lays out the reasons for the American Revolution. Both in logic and biblical justification, he attacks the crown.

Very Enlightening

Significantly enhanced my understanding of the rational for our form of government and although not perfect, why we should commit to improving and preserve it over the alternatives.
