About this audiobook

In January 1776, as the colonies argued over whether to make peace with Britain, Thomas Paine published a short pamphlet in plain language for everyday readers. He argued that monarchy was a poor way to run a country, that Britain had no right to rule America, and that the time to declare independence had come. Common Sense helped turn public opinion toward the Revolution. Read by Gary Middleton. About two and a half hours for anyone curious how the argument for American independence was first made.
