Explanation:

At the time of its publication, the idea of Independence had not yet been considered by the American public but Pain's pamphlet advocated for a radical idea of liberty, equality and democracy that would capture the "true American Spirit of liberty". His pamphlet was extremely influential in shifting the colonists' opinion towards Independence, presenting political and moral reasons for it's support, in wide circulation before the American Revolution.
