18 janv. 1775 - Thomas Paine's Common Sense
Description:
Despite the decade of British taxation, many colonists still favored reconciliation over complete independence. Thomas Paine swung the tide towards independent by calling for a republican government instead of a small island governing a large continent, expressing the sense of separateness that had been growing. This galvanized the push towards a revolution for freedom.Ajouté au bande de temps:
