    This helps shed additional light on our nation’s independence and the necessity of our independence instead of being ruled.

    I’ve been reading common sense by Thomas pane, some men say that I’m intense or I’m insane. You want a review I want to sing hamalton so listen to my declaration. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. And when I meet Tomas Jefferson, I’m going to tell him to include WOMAN in the sequel. WORK

    It will not take you long to read through this book, but it presents a hugely important snapshot of the mindset and readiness of the Americans of the Colonies to become THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Any reader that wants to understand how this nation went from being a subject of a foreign nation to a free and independent republic owes it to themselves to read this short, but extremely relevant narrative.

  • Must read

  • Thomas Paine is INSANE!

    Why does this fool think it would be a good idea to secede from Great Brooklyn? It would be so much more sensible to stay under the King's guiding hand. He hath taken great measures to keep us safe, and it would be horrible to take it for granted. In the words of Samuel Seabury, "Heed not the rabble who scream, 'revolution!', they have not your interest at heart. Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution, don't let them lead you astray."
