Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was born in England and later became an American citizen. He has become a leader in many fields. He was a political activist, a philosopher, and a revolutionary. Especially as a revolutionary, he is included in the ranks of the founding fathers of the United States. He was given the title "revolutionary" because he wrote two pamphlets at the beginning of the American Revolution. Both of these pamphlets played an immeasurable instigating role in the subsequent revolutionary trend. One of them is this book "Common Sense". The greatest effect of this pamphlet was that it spread the idea of ​​"republic", igniting people's enthusiasm for "independence" and joining the army, and their strong desire to fight against the powerful ruler of Britain. And, it's not just inspiration, it's solutions. It pointed out to the people the dangers of British autocracy and the decadence of its judicial system; it also told the people that a free country should be established. Thomas Paine knew that many people fantasized about compromise with the British rulers from the beginning. In his pamphlet, he warned the people that only "independence" was the road to freedom. Thomas Paine's writing style is also very good. He knew how to use vivid words to arouse the potential enthusiasm of the people. The language style he used in this pamphlet also became the writing style commonly used by many politicians later. It can be said that it is precisely because of "Common Sense" that the people who read it have strengthened their determination to take the road of independence. It was precisely because of Thomas Paine that there was a theoretical guarantee for the success of the American Revolution. Therefore, it would not be surprising to call Thomas Paine one of the "Fathers of America."

"Common Sense: A Book That Shaped Milestones in World History" is the soul of the American political system and the program of the People's War of Independence, which created the modern United States and pushed the people of North America to embark on the path of open independence. The historical significance of "Common Sense" in setting the people of North America on the road to open independence is immeasurable and unquestionable. More than 200 years later, it is still praised by countless historians. "Common Sense" was also used as the program of the North American People's War of Independence. Its ideas were later absorbed by the "Declaration of Independence" and became the soul of the American political system. It can be said that this book created modern America and was the first book to change the United States.

"Common Sense" was published by Thomas Paine (1737-1809) 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 in Lexington, the shocking effect of "Common Sense" is unimaginable by today's people. It can be said that it was the publication that promoted the United States' independence from the British Empire. The publication of "Common Sense" profoundly exposed the dark and oppressive nature of Britain, which made many people finally make up their minds to break with the United Kingdom. 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.
