Answer:
Explanation:
Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776. He wrote this with one purpose: independence.
He hoped that his pamphlet would stir up feelings of discontent and anger to convince more colonists to join the movement of independence. He knew American independence was necessary and inevitable, but was also aware that more support translated to better results.
So he didn't think independence was impossible, uncertain, or illegal, but he suggested it was <u>just a matter of time.</u>
