Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense helped colonists by trying to persuade them and help them realize they need to be independent and break away from Great Britain.

Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine, who was an Englishman who had failed at almost everything that he had tried. He had dropped out of school and tried numerous jobs, failing at all of them. He moved to the colonies and became a magazine editor, overtime becoming very passionate about the colonists having their own independence.

Paine wrote Common Sense to try to persuade the colonists and make them realize that they did not need Great Britain in order to thrive. He starts off by saying that everything he is writing is based on facts and common sense, immediately grabbing the attention of readers and leaving them wondering what he is going to say.

Common Sense sold tons of copies and helped the colonists recognize their independence. Six months later the Declaration of Independence was made and a lot of people thank Thomas Paine for this.
