"Common Sense" was published by Thomas Paine in January 1776 under the signature of "an Englishman". The content is indeed, as the title says, all common sense, but this common sense is relevant to today. In January 1776, after the gunfire at Lexington, the shocking effect of this book is unimaginable by today's people. It can be said that it was the publication that promoted the United States to become independent from the British Empire. The publication of this book profoundly exposed the dark and oppressive nature of Britain, which made many people finally make up their minds to break with Britain. It greatly encouraged American independence morale and established an independent United States of America. At the same time, it is also a must-read classic for contemporary young people.
Reader comments
Especially the part about the American Revolution reminded me of a friend of mine who bravely left his hometown to pursue a broader world for his own dreams. This book made me understand that as long as we have faith and courage, we can overcome any difficulty. Not only is it a history book, it is an inspiring read and I highly recommend it!
