US 101 | Common Sense: America's Wake Up Call - US 101 @US101 | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Using a bit of Common Sense, Thomas Paine convinced many colonists in 1776 that independence was the way to go.
This week, we'll take a closer look at Common Sense. We'll find out why Thomas Paine decided to write the pamphlet, why he made it easy for most colonists to read, and the arguments that he made as to why America should declare its independence from Britain.
