1841 Thomas Paine 1ed Life of American Revolution Politics George Washington

"Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another."
­– Thomas Paine, Rights of Man

Thomas Paine's political activism in the late 18th-century was vitally important to many of the successes of the American Revolution. He was responsible for some of the most important propaganda pamphlets at the start of the war which inspired American rebels in 1776.

This book also contains references to other Paine biographies including Sherwin and… Read More
