A radical pamphleteer, Paine anticipated and helped foment the American Revolution through his powerful writings, most notably Common Sense (1776), an incendiary pamphlet advocating independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. This work convinced many colonists, including George Washington, to seek redress in political independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. The work was greatly influenced by the equally controversial pro-independence writer Benjamin Rush, and was instrumental in bringing about the Declaration of Independence.
