At times, it seems as if the freedom movement is progressing too slowly to reverse current political trends. In this regard, the American Revolution provides an important lesson. Even after the Revolutionary War had begun, most Americans, including many colonial leaders, favored reconciliation with England. Most Americans still considered themselves to be loyal British subjects, and were willing to continue to do so, if only the King would correct his most grievous transgressions. In early 1776-more than eight months after the Battle of Lexington - colonists suddenly began to support the idea of American independence. This dramatic change can be largely attributed to the work of one man: Thomas Paine. Paine was an undistinguished Englishman when he arrived in Philadelphia in November 1774 armed with several letters of introduction from Benjamin Franklin. Aided by Franklin's letters, Paine quickly found work as an editor and chief writer for Pennsylvania Magazine. Sharing Franklin's interest in science, Paine wrote about the newest inventions of the day, as well as political issues, but he remained relatively obscure.

Extractions: Tom Paine: The Founding Father America Disowned J. W. Skelton, Ph.D. What follows below are the Preface and Introduction to J.W. Skelton's book on Thomas Paine, published in 1992. Prof. Skelton provides an important addition to the academic literature dealing with the treatment Paine received by his contemporaries. The book was printed by Professional Press, Chapel Hill, NC. How ironic that a tyrant like Napoleon should have said of Paine: "A statue of gold ought to be erected to you in every city of the universe," whereas Paine's whilom friend, George Washington, not only remained silent but failed to lift a finger when Paine, not only an American citizen but a veritable catalyst in America's quest for independence, sought his assistance when languishing in the shadow of Robespierre's guillotine. The reason for Washington's, and other Founding Fathers', silence is hardly a mystery: after achieving independence from the British, Paine assumed that conditions would be transformed in the newly independent states. That is to say, he assumed that there would he an actual revolution: a transformation of American society. Indeed, there was a basic, extensive fear among the new landowners, slaveholders, and assorted oligarchs that Paine's genuine advocacy of true democracy freedom and respect for each person regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or social status would greatly endanger the

Extractions: In an intimate hour-long performance, Salt Lake City radio personality Hans Petersen brings to life a celebrated figure from America's revolutionary period in KUED-Channel 7's production of Tom Paine Produced by KUED's Elizabeth Searles and directed by Ann Gallenson, the program is a dramatic exploration of English-born pamphleteer Thomas Paine, who was instrumental in the success of the American Revolution. His pamphlet, "Common Sense," published on January 10, 1776 approximately a year after his arrival in America, called upon the colonies to break with Great Britain. The pamphlet went through 25 editions and reached hundreds of thousands of people at a time when the typical pamphlet only reached several thousand. Paine's vision and broad appeal, however, unnerved some American officials. His "The Age of Reason" published in 1794 after his participation in the French Revolution, destroyed his standing in America. Paine died in New York in 1809, impoverished and reviled as an atheist. Petersen has been fascinated with Paine for over 20 years. "He's been a hero and an inspiration to me," he said. "I'm doing this show because I'd like him to get credit for the job he did for America during the Revolution, which, due to various circumstances, has been withheld. He has been discredited and shuttled into obscurity."

[It] is sure to be recognized as an authoritative account of the shaping of Anglo-American radical ideology."Richard B. Morris, Columbia University

Extractions: November 1968 Caption reads: "Another O'Horgan hit, Tom Paine portrays its gero not only as a revolutionary pamphleteer but also as a wretched alcoholic finally destroyed by the Americans he helped free. The most memorable scene shows Paine (Rob Thirlield), drunk in a tavern, hallucinating a group of diaphinously draped tormentors who swirl about him in what O'Horgan calls "a Blake-like vision of innocence." Surrounding Paine, clockwise from bottom, are Monica Haufrecht, Gary Britton, Adriana Hines, Spalding Gray, Lucy Silvay and barbara Press. "I think of my work," says O'Horgan, "as kinetic sculpture. The stage needs to be expanded - rigid conceptions broken, a little blood allowed to flow through." That makes Common Sense.

Dear Tom Paine
http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~govind/stories/tompaine.html

Extractions: April 21, 1999 Dear Tom Paine: I am a member of a 20th-century writing club in Austin, Texas (when you died, Texas was owned by Spain. It's now part of the United States.). I am writing this letter to you for a writing project. A reply is not expected, but it certainly would be a treat! I was wondering, if you saw what has happened to the United States and to democracy in the 300 years since your death, what you would think of all this. Do you ever regret that you started the revolution that led to the creation of the United States of America? Do you think that it might have been better just to leave things the way they werekings instead of presidents, earls instead of senators, lords instead of representatives? Probably not, but it sometimes seems like an attractive alternative, doesn't it? When you wrote your pamphlet on independence, Common Sense , did you think that things would become like this, or that people would keep things simple? After all, you said that "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil." Did you think that people would still remember your little pamphlet and what you said more than 300 years afterward? I think that you're one of the most interesting people who took part in the Revolutionary War. You weren't a dashing soldier like George Washington or the Marquis de Lafayette, or a great statesman like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson, but you knew how to talk to the common people. Your pamphlet was every bit as important to the Revolutionary War as the Declaration of Independenceor, for that matter, George Washington's famous crossing of the Delaware river. In fact, by writing

http://www.termlimits.org/Press/Common_Sense/cs615.html

Extractions: read this commentary Quite a hubbub about what's-her-name. The Queen of England is celebrating her 50th year on the throne. But I can't get very excited about this jubilee event trumpeting the British monarchy. Oh, sure, Elizabeth seems like a nice enough lady and all that, but I can't abide kings and queens, royalty of any kind, the very idea of it. This radio program is entitled Common Sense, a title I borrowed from my long-deceased friend Tom Paine. Tom Paine's pamphlets "Common Sense" and "The Crisis" were widely circulated throughout the colonies during the American Revolutionary War and kept the public's morale high. Many historians say he did as much as any man could with paper and ink to win America's freedom. Paine hated all monarchy everywhere in the world. Especially King George III. He once called King George a "stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man." And Paine wrote that "Even brutes do not devour their young, nor savages make war upon their families." Paine agreed with the sentiment from the French Revolution, "Kings are in the moral order what monsters are in the physical." is monstrous.

http://www.conlaw.org/Intergenerational-II-2.htm

Extractions: The Stewardship Doctrine: II. The Intergenerational Philosophy of the Founders and Their Contemporaries One interesting way to gauge the prevalence of the intergenerational mindset during the late 18th century is to study the arguments put forth by commentators of the day on a prominent issue such as the French Revolution. Both the proponents and the detractors of that revolution chose to frame their arguments in terms of generational rights. In his popular Reflections on the Revolution in France , Edmund Burke decried France's departure from monarchy on generational entitlement grounds. In a famously eloquent passage, he describes society as a sacred partnership: ". . . a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. Each contract of each particular state is but a clause in the great primeval contract of eternal society." Later in the same piece, Burke would phrase his concerns in the language of estate preservation, a language with surprisingly modern environmental overtones:
