Paine, Thomas. Common Sense. Charlottesville, Va.: U of Virginia Library, 1993. Print.
This is an electric copy of Thomas Paines very own pamphlet [Common Sense]. I used it to
actually read through and to understand how this man sparked the rising need of independence.
To be honest, it was a shame that he started off anonymous, but due to the hate he had received
from other things, I think by staying anonymous until the time was right really help the colonists.

This was also on electric copy of the actual novel of itself. Like my annotated bibliography of the

o Although this encyclopedia page is particularly on Thomas Pain in General, I am solely
focusing on more of his works and thought, and of course, his legacy, especially during

the American Revolution. From what Ive read through the Thought and Works section,
he has had particular works for the American Revolution, Politics, and The Age of
Reason. The influences, or legacies, left behind were that of his pamphlets how it
inspired others.

o This website provided the information of the novel Common Sense rather than
information on Thomas Paine himself. But, due to the Common Senses significance to
the American public during the time, it itself left an impact that influenced the people of
that era. That is why I decided to add it [the information on Common Sense]. This
counted as one of the lasting legacies from Paines leadership.

o This website is strongly on majority of Paines biography. Im using this website for the
information that it has for Common Senses success and the message that it impacts
towards the political world. Not only that, but of his other works such as Rights of Man
and The Age of Reason.
