=== Thomas Paine was born on February 9, 1737 but in 1776 he was known as The Father Of The American Revolution because of his pamphlet, "Common Sense." His pamphlet was filled with already thought of ideas that had been tossed aside as if they were garbage. His writings only made them seem more real and capable of being set into motion. These ideas made people more confident in their own similar ideas. The pamphlet was read in public meetings and it pulled forward the ideas that freedom wasn't a bad thing to believe in. Nobody had really given any serious time and thought into these ideas because they were discouraged and many looked down upon those who were opinionated about wether it was right or worng to be a seperate working community. Thomas Paine gave a push to these ideas and it gave hope to those who wanted independence. This really helped set in motion and instill some kind of freedom in the colonists. Thomas Paine died on June 8, 1809 at the age of 72 and the fight for freedom and independence still lives on, maybe not in the Americas, but it does for other continents and countries all over the world. ===
