A Valentine’s Day Message
Lots of mushy cards get exchanged every Valentine’s Day, but in 1776, perhaps the most important pamphlet in American history began circulating. It was Thomas Paine’s COMMON SENSE, an instant best seller, read by everyone from Gen. George Washington to the lowest buck private in the army. In this episode of LIBERTY’S KIDS, James, Sarah and Henri meet Thomas Paine and learn of his belief that the common man can rule himself. The Kids also hear Paine’s stand favoring full independence from England.
