The Continental Army
I use the Continental Army because the actions of this British Army are a big part in the reasons Paine wrote his pamphlets. He wanted to show that this army is killing unarmed people, (Boston Massacre) and controlling us and that they could live better.

"Common Sense"
This is Thomas Paine's most known literary work. This pamphlet was a huge influence of the writing of the Declaration of Independence. He actually published this anonymously because of its treasonous content.
