    When Thomas Paine published his pamphlet Common Sense, the war had already started, but many colonists neither approved of the war nor desired independence from Great Britain. Common Sense convinced many colonists that the colonies should gain independence from Great Britain, even if it meant war. The increased number of supporters undoubtedly helped the recruitment numbers. The Stamp Act was one of the most despised actions by Great Britain government if not the most. It added an excise tax to all

    Common Sense. By Thomas Paine. Edited with an Introduction by Isaac Kramnic. (New York: Penguin Books, 1986).   	Recently, I acquired a copy of Thomas Paine’s most recent patriotic pamphlet, entitled Common Sense.
