The American Crisis Response

Dear fellow bloggers,
The main point of Thomas Paine's piece titled "the American Crisis" is to tell the people of the United States that they should be fighting not only for better rights, but for independence from Britain as well. This is a point that Paine tried to prove to Americans by creating his pamphlet. "For so unlimited a power can belong only to God," Paine wrote. This tells us that he felt the British had too much power over the US and that this was unjust to them. Therefore, he stressed the point to Americans everywhere that they should fight for their independence, and that is what they ended up doing. I believe that Paine was a very honorable man for doing this because he formed his own opinion, and stuck with it. I feel that he played a large part in motivating people during the American Revolution. So, I strongly agree with the point he is making in this piece because I, too, believe Britain had too much power for one country to have. I am glad that Paine was able to stand up for what he believed in, and lead America to Independence.
