Common Sense was an instant
best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia, nearly 120,000 copies
were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant arguments were straightforward.
He argued for two main points: (1) independence from England and (2) the
creation of a democratic republic. Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the
language of the people, often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people
in America had a working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true.
Paine was not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was
"the Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great
Britain." He touched a nerve in the American countryside.
The reason it is impractical is they traders had to go around South America... For example, say New York is sending trade ships to San Francisco. They would go all the way down to the bottom of South America and then all they way back up. By creating the panama canal, it allowed ships to cut through the land and make the route more practical.
