The intended purpose of revolutionary pamphlets and articles is to convince the American colonists to declare independence from Britain

Explanation:

In the Crisis number No. 1, Thomas Paine advised the colonists to support the Patriots. The colonists who were average were only asked to do so during the patriots fight against the British.
