"The Crisis" by Thomas Paine - America's Fight for Independence

Thomas Paine’s The American Crisis is a series of pamphlets published between 1776 to 1783 during the American Revolutionary War. Paine uses eloquent, emotional language to persuade the American people to support their states’ new union and contribute to the revolutionary cause. Paine idealizes Americans and their country’s origins to galvanize them to fight for independence, rather than submit themselves to the indignity of being British colonial subjects.

Paine uses his platform to attack the enemies of independence at home and abroad. He frequently criticizes “Tories,” colonists who are loyal to Britain, and either convinces them to join the revolutionary cause or calls for their punishment or exile.

He addresses many of his pamphlets to specific people, including British leaders General Howe, Lord Howe, and the Earl of Shelburne. Paine attacks their specific proclamations and policies in order to question their morals and military strategies, undermine their reputations in Britain, and encourage Americans to continue to fight against them.
