His first, African Slavery in America , was published in 1775 and sharply criticized slavery as unjust and inhumane. Destined to be much more famous and influential was his pamphlet Common Sense, published on January 10, 1776. The basis for this pamphlet was that common sense and plain facts dictated one course of action for the American colonies: separation from England. Advocating the most limited form of government possible, over 500,000 copies were sold, making it one of the most influential documents of the era.

Praised, in similar fashion, by virtually ever other important leader of the American Revolution, Common Sense became the first bestseller in the nation's history, and Paine donated every penny of the considerable fortune it made to the cause of seeing through the revoluton it ignited.

Search Page Science Site Index Main Start Page THOMAS PAINE [Library of Congress] Biographical Data Religious Views Quotations Misquotations Education: grammar school Occupation: Political Affiliation: Religious Affiliation: none Summary of Religious Views: Although he is often thought of as and atheist, Paine was actually a deist. Paine wrote extensively on the subject of religion, both promoting deism and criticizing Christianity and other religions, especially deriding belief in miracles other non-naturalistic occurrences. Paine strongly favored the separation of church and state, believing that government should be based on reason, not faith. He believed that the only valid role of government in religious affairs was to protect freedom of religion. Quotations: "As to religion, I hold it to be the indispensible duty of every government, to protect all conscientious professors thereof, and I know of no other business which government hath to do therewith. Let a man throw aside that narrowness of soul, that selfishness of principle, which the niggards of all professions are so unwilling to part with; and he will be at once delivered of his fears on that head. Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society. For myself, I fully and conscientiously believe, that it is the will of the Almighty, that there should be a diversity of religious opinions among us: it affords a larger field for our Christian kindness. Were we all of one way of thinking, our religious dispositions would want matter for probation; and on this liberal principle, I look on the various denominations among us, to be like children of the same family, differing only, in what is called, their Christian names."

THOMAS PAINE .............. BIOGRAPHY .............. Four years later, he published part one of Rights of Man, followed by part two the next year. In Rights of Man, Paine replied to Edmund Burke's criticism of the French Revolution. Paine's treatise was condemned in England, and he was outlawed, so he moved to France. Without ever learning how to read or speak French, Paine participated in French politics, helping to draft a constitution, which was never adopted, and serving as one of two foreigners on the National Convention. In 1793, Paine was imprisoned in the Luxembourg Prison, where he lived in fear of execution. James Monroe, American Ambassador to France, secured Paine's release after the French Terror ended. Nevertheless, Paine publicly denounced the Washington administration in 1796 for having failed to help him. After his release, Paine completed The Age of Reason, an attack on revealed religion, on the basis of which he was accused of being an atheist. He published Agrarian Justice in 1797, and returned to America five years later, where he was ignored by the intellectual community. By 1809, he was interred on his farm in New Rochelle, New York, where he died. Radical reformer William Cobbett wished to return Paine's bones to England for a memorial burial ten years after his death, but lost the remains after they were exhumed.

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Thomas Paine Born in Thetford, England, on January 29, 1737, Thomas Paine emigrated to America in 1774, arriving just before the dawn of the American Revolution. At first an advocate of reconciliation with England, after the battles of Lexington and Concord, he became an outspoken propagandist for the Revolution. His great and highly influential pamphlet Common Sense , published in January 1776, was the first explicit assault on the rule of America by the British crown. In simple, concise language, Paine laid out how an independent government could be controlled by the people, and how rich and poor alike could share equally the privileges and resonsibilities of government, and how no special preferment should be attached to any one religious sect, but that religious diversity should be respected. Following the War of Independence, Paine returned to England and was welcomed as a celebrity. He fell from favor, however, when he published The Rights of Man , a defense of the French Revolution, in response to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France . Forced to leave England by the controversy, he went to France where he was given citizenship. However, after he spoke out in favor of the deposed King Louis XVI, Paine was imprisoned in 1793 and nearly executed. While in prison, he began writing

THOMAS PAINE (1737-1809) Common Sense Paine's famous treatise is an eloquent piece of propagandizing demagoguery, written not for the minds of political diplomacy, but for the hearts of an enraged public tired of listening to reason. Paine, seeing and feeling the frustrations of an America kept from power by a British political system based on privilege and peerage, seized on the image of America as an archetypal New World capable of breaking the cycle and starting anew. "The cause of America," Paine wrote, "is in a great measure the cause of mankind." Common Sense did more to fan the flames of rebellion than any other piece of writing during the American revolutionary era. Common Sense
