Thomas Paine argued in “Common Sense” in favor of American Independence. The pain had many arguments to defend American independence, first he said that it was absurd for an island to rule a continent, he envisioned that the US would grow and defended that independence should be sought during the moment that the colonies were small.
He also argued that Britain was very distant from America and this made the governing of the colonies very hard. Any petition to the Parliament would take a year to the colonies receive a response, this made governing impossible.
Massachusetts is where the first successful British colony was settled, and it's also where the American Revolution started. Its culture had a very strong influence on New England culture at large
