dor for American ideals, for liberty,
equality. and the right to happiness.
His pamphlet, Common Sense
printed In 1778 and followed by the
various numbers of The American
Crisis stirred and spurred Americans
to the road to freedom more than
any other words produced In those
days by tongue or pen, unless they
were those of the Declaration " In

hesitatlng over the audaclty Of final
separation from Great Britain, he
spoke boldly, demanding to be shown
any reason for argument or delay. He
preached federal union, that petty

forgotten:
