Description:... British-born Thomas Paine came to Philadelphia in 1774. He clearly heard the colonists’ cries for liberty. They stirred his own political philosophy and ideals for freedom. He committed the powerful mixture to print with revolutionary pamphlets such as Common Sense. Paine helped set the stage for the Declaration of Independence and profoundly influenced the course of our nation’s history and ideology.
