Thomas Paine by Bradley Alexander-Goncalves https://padlet.com/1566312/1234567890101112131415161718192021 "These are the times that try men's souls. The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. My country is the world, and my religion is to do good. The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection. We have it in our power to begin the world over again. Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one." en-us 2018-02-14 15:58:49 UTC 2018-02-27 16:03:17 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png What was he important in the Revolutionary War? 1566312 https://padlet.com/1566312/1234567890101112131415161718192021/wish/231559027 Influencing people to fight too and do what they believe in and be fair.]]> 2018-02-14 16:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1566312/1234567890101112131415161718192021/wish/231559027 When, where, and how did he die? 1566312 https://padlet.com/1566312/1234567890101112131415161718192021/wish/231560662 June 8, 1809

Paine argued that the cause of America should be not just a revolt against taxation but a demand for independence. He put this idea into Common Sense.

Thomas HATED unfairness and inequality and didn't believe in monarchy and slavery at all and showed he wanted people to be fair to each other.]]> 2018-02-15 18:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1566312/1234567890101112131415161718192021/wish/232061229
