Explanation:

Thomas Paine was one of the leading figures in the liberation of the United States from Britain. He was a thinker of liberal ideology who through his works, especially The Common Sense, written in 1776, urged the American colonists to rebel against the British rule that existed until then in the Thirteen Colonies.

Paine identified the colonial relationship between America and Great Britain as the main problem of the Thirteen Colonies, that depended on the metropolis for most of the economic and political decisions that were made in their territory, thus limiting the freedom and opportunities of the colonists to develop a dignified life in their territories. Thus, through his pamphlets he urged the colonists to rise up against the colonial government and fight for the independence of the nation.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
