Sep 22 10:44 PM Sep 6 11:14 PM Thomas Paine Common Sense, 1776 In the following pages I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.... I have heard it asserted by some, that as America has flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert that because a child has thrived upon milk, that is never to have meat, or that the first twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty. But even this is admitting more than is true for I answer... that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power taken any notice of her. The commerce by which she hath enriched herself are the necessaries of life, and will always have a market while eating is the custom of Europe. Objective: Students will be familiar with the key events of the American Revolution Essential Question: What was a turning point in the American revolution? But she has protected us, say some.... We have boasted the protection of Great Britain, without considering, that her motive was interest not attachment.... This new World hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.... As Europe is our market for trade, we ought to form no partial connection with any part of it. It is the true interest of America to steer clear of European contentions, which she never can do, while, by her dependence on Britain, she is made the make weight in the scale of British politics.
