Thomas Paine wrote the book, Common Sense, in 1776. The goal of his book was to make fence straddling colonists want to break away from Britain. The quote I choose shows that not all American Colonists were british, therefore Britain should not have control of the Colonies. My picture of the 13 colonies has British, Holland, Germany and Sweden flags. About one-third of the flags are British and the rest are Holland, Germany and Sweden. Less than one-third of the colonists were British, so there is less British flags. My cover page for, Common Sense, shows why the colonists should break away from Britain.
