The American Crisis series was used to 'recharge the revolutionary cause. Written in a language that the common person could understand, they represented Paine's liberal philosophy. Paine also used references to God, saying that a war against Great Britain would be a war with the support of God.
Paine's writings bolstered the morale of the American colonists, appealed to the British people's consideration of the war, clarified the issues at stake in the war, and denounced the advocates of a negotiated peace.
The first volume famously begins: 'These are the times that try men's souls. Winter of was a time of need in the colonies, considering Philadelphia and the entire rebel American cause were on the verge of death and the revolution was still viewed as an unsteady prospect. Paine wanted to enable the distraught patriots to stand, to persevere, and to fight for an American victory.
Paine published the first Crisis paper on December 19th. Its opening sentence was adopted as the watchword of the movement to Trenton.
The opening lines are as follows: [6]. These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Paine brought together the thirteen diverse colonies and encouraged them to stay motivated through the harsh conditions of the winter of Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Along with the patriotic nature of The American Crisis , the series of papers displayed Paine's strong deist beliefs, [7] inciting the laity with suggestions that the British are trying to assume powers that only God should have.
Paine saw the British political and military maneuvers in the colonies as 'impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God. Paine goes to great lengths to state that American colonists do not lack force but 'a proper application of that force,' implying throughout that an extended war could lead only to defeat unless a stable army was composed not of militia but of trained professionals.
Paine maintains a positive view overall, hoping that the American crisis could be resolved quickly 'for though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire. Paine also asserts that 'if being bound in that manner is not slavery, then there is not such a thing as slavery on earth. He then opines a little about how the panicking of the sudden Revolutionary War has both hindered and helped the colonists.
Paine then speaks of his experience in the Battle of Fort Lee and the colonists' subsequent retreat. Afterward, Paine remarks on an experience with a Loyalist. He says the man told his child, 'Well! Paine says that this is very 'unfatherly' and the man should want the war to happen in his time so it does not happen in his child's time.
Paine then gives some advice on how to do better in the war. Paragraph 1 is about the present. The present is a time to secure the celestial article of freedom and merit the honor of commercial appreciation.
Crisis No. This continent, Sir, is too extensive to sleep all at once, and too watchful, even in its slumbers, not to startle at the unhallowed foot of an invader. Paine also sheds light onto what he felt the future would hold for the emerging country, 'The United States of America, will sound as pompously in the world, or in history [as] the Kingdom of Great Britain; the character of General Washington will fill a page with as much luster as that of Lord Howe; and Congress have as much right to command the king and parliament of London to desist from legislation, as they or you have to command the Congress.
What have you to do with our independence? We are very willing to be at peace with you, to buy of you and sell to you, and, like young beginners in the world, to work for our own living; therefore, why do you put yourselves out of cash, when we know you cannot spare it, and we do not desire you to run you into debt?
A pamphlet series originally published during the American Revolution. Paine, like many other politicians and scholars, knew that the Colonists weren't going to support the American Revolutionary War without proper reason to do so. The pamphlets were written in a language that the common man could understand, and represented Paine's liberal philosophy.
He also used references to God. His writings bolstered the morale of the American colonists, appealed to the English people's consideration of the war with America, clarified the issues at stake in the war, and denounced the advocates of a negotiated peace. The first volume begins with the famous words 'These are the times that try men's souls. Last week, around 20, people downloaded books from my site - 5 people gave donations.
