Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Pane to get American colonists to put their weight behind the effort of getting independence from Great Britain.
This pamphlet served the function of being a material of propaganda to rally support from the Americans against the English because the Americans were unhappy with the unfair tax imposed on them by the monarchy and also the fact that the American colonies had no real representation in the British parliament.
This document would be a very good source to learn about the colonists and their religious views.
