Thomas Paine

by Larry Levin

Today's update is short with a video. Thomas Paine from the American Revolution is back and on YouTube!

Thomas Paine (January 29, 1737 - June 8, 1809) was a British pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical, inventor, and intellectual. He lived and worked in Britain until age 37, when he emigrated to the British American colonies, in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contribution was the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis (1776-1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series.

Please view this video in it entirety; it's fantastic. Hope you enjoy it!
