Its incendiary language and simple format made it popular throughout the colonies, helping to radicalize many Americans and pushing them to seriously consider the idea of declaring independence from Britain. Chapter 1. And I found the answer to this question. Of course, it then becomes a precedent for Congress under the Articles of Confederation. But the answer to the question — how did they vote?

I had not thought about it before and yet historians have addressed it so there you go so — Okay. That is the answer to the question.

And that has to do with the death of Thomas Paine or actually, to be more accurate, the body of Thomas Paine. So he basically ended up at first being buried on his small farm in upstate New York. A few years later a newspaper editor named William Cobbett decided that what he was going to do was disinter the body and take it back to England, and then in England they would set up a memorial to Thomas Paine.

This was his plan. So he did. He disinterred the body; he went on a boat; he and dead-body Paine went sailing back to England. Got back to England, raised the issue and apparently did not get very much support for the idea of a memorial of some kind. At this point it gets a little sad. So, body of Paine sitting on his farm in England.

Then he died — Mr. We really do not know where Thomas Paine is. Truly, there was a trunk and it had Paine in it and then it vanished.

Although I did discover that in there was a society that wanted to create some kind of memorial here in America and they decided that they were going to try to trace the body so they set out trying to trace the body. What they found was, all over the world are people who claim to have a piece of Thomas Paine, right? Well, his skull might be in Australia but his leg — that might be in England. So the sort of — the horrifying end to Thomas Paine is his body disappeared and perhaps little pieces of Thomas Paine are floating around as little relics all over the world. And we are given that — what he ended up writing was so influential and so different from much of what was being written at this time.

And in fact its popularity was due to the very things that were its greatest strengths: the fact that it was passionate, the fact that it had a really simple style, that it spoke to the common man, that it captured and completely overturned prevailing colonial ideas about the relationship between the mother country and the American colonies. As someone wrote at the time, Paine spoke a language which the colonists had felt, but not thought. One of the remarkable things about the pamphlet is that it was written by a somewhat bankrupt English corset-maker a mere fourteen months after he had arrived in America from England.

Basically speaking, Paine knew relatively little about colonial affairs when he decided to write it. He had done writing before. He wrote some for newspapers. He wrote it at the encouragement of Dr.

Benjamin Rush. So Paine is relatively new to the colonies, not really an established writer, so how is it that he ends up writing this pamphlet? What is happening around him. And that actually begins meeting in the spring of For one thing, no colony instructed its delegates to this Second Continental Congress to work for independence. That was not the agenda.

• My Name Is Keller!
• Filthy Little Atheist.
• The Dark Realm: The Chosen One (The Dark Realm Trilogy Book 2).

Delegates were pretty much still acting under the assumption that they were trying to force Parliament or the King or someone to acknowledge their liberties and redress their grievances, and the overall assumption still was that balance had been thrown off within the British constitution and it needed to be rebalanced. Actually, in the minds of many at the time they probably were thinking, why destroy what had for a very long time been one of the most successful political empires in the world. As an example of this initial mindset of the Congress — again more about this Tuesday — moderates attempted one last stab at some kind of basic reconciliation with the Crown, and they issued what came to be known as the Olive Branch Petition.

It failed for a number of reasons — again more next week — one of the most basic reasons being the King refused to read the Olive Branch Petition, which pretty much is the way to guarantee the failure of a petition. By doing that, the King basically gave some credence to the views of the more radical members of the Continental Congress, and radicals got even more credence on August 23, , when the King issued a proclamation that declared the colonies to be in rebellion, and then made plans to send 20, British troops to the colonies, including Prussian mercenaries.

So the King ignores the Olive Branch Petition. So the colonies have now been declared in rebellion. An army is coming. At this point the colonists realize that they need to maybe take some form of action and make some kind of military preparation, not in an aggressive way but certainly in a defensive way.

Even as they began to do this and try to stock up on military supplies and engage in militia training, still a lot of colonists considered it pretty unlikely that a string of relatively weak — prosperous as they were — colonies could hope to defeat England, the most powerful nation on earth. And even if they did miraculously somehow manage to do that, certainly also most people in the colonies would have assumed that instantly, foreign powers would have come zipping over to North America and would have swallowed up these helpless little colonies, and so now instead of belonging to England they would have belonged to France or maybe Spain.

So instead of centering on the British constitution, Paine based his ideas about colonial society and government on natural rights logic, arguing that the colonies should join in a new government grounded on equality. This is about you and me and life in the colonies. Well, he was relatively poor. He was never really well off. Obviously, he was an intelligent — strikingly intelligent person. He was someone who loved to assert his own importance. He loved to brag about his great accomplishments.

He loved to dominate a conversation. I tried to get authoritative word on this. Was Thomas Paine really drunk? Research, research, research. Maybe not so much.

What happened to the body? So I have these weird Trivial Pursuit moments in preparation for the course here. So, maybe drunk, maybe not, a slight drinking problem. Historians disagree. Either way, he was born in England in Supposedly the cottage that he was born in was literally in the shadow of a place of execution, so the dark hand of the State was looming over the cottage of Thomas Paine.

He was born poor.
