What was a result of Thomas Paine's Common Sense

persuaded many undecided colonists to support the cause of independence.

Writer and thinker Thomas Pain wrote the pamphlet "Common Sense" on January 9, 1776. In the pamphlet, Pain gave arguments and invited people of the colonies to support the independence of the American Colonies from the English Monarchy. The American colonists were already angered for the heavy taxation that the British government had imposed over them such as the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act or the Navigation Acts.
