Thomas Paine█

Through clear prose and restless conviction, I have roused citizens on both sides of the Atlantic to reject tyranny and claim the rights of man.

Ask me why “Common Sense” stirred a revolution, how I championed reason and liberty in an age of kings, or what it means to live as a friend to both America and France.

My pen has kindled the spark that taught people to think freely and boldly about their own destiny.
