FRtR Biographies Thomas Paine A Biography of Thomas Paine (1737-1809) Quote Thomas Paine was born on the twenty-nineth of January 1737 at Thetford, Norfolk in England, as a son of a Quaker. After a short basic education, he started to work, at first for his father, later as an officer of the excise. During this occupation Thomas Paine was an unsuccesfull man, and was twice dismissed from his post. In 1774, he met Benjamin Franklin in London, who advised him to emigrate to America, giving him letters of recommandation. Paine landed at Philadelphia on November 30, 1774. Starting over as a publicist, he first published his African Slavery in America , in the spring of 1775, criticizing slavery in America as being unjust and inhumaine. At this time he also had become co-editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine On arriving in Philadelphia, Paine had sensed the rise of tension, and the spirit of rebellion, that had steadily mounted in the Colonies after the Boston Teaparty and when the fightings had started, in April 1775, with the battles of Lexington and Concord . In Paine's view the Colonies had all the right to revolt against a government that imposed taxes on them but which did not give them the right of representation in the Parliament at Westminster. But he went even further: for him there was no reason for the Colonies to stay dependent on England. On January 10, 1776 Paine formulated his ideas on american independence in his pamphlet

2. Thomas Paine, 1737-1809 The radical propagandist and voice of the common man, Thomas Paine, was born in Thetford in Norfolk on January 29, 1737. http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/paine.html

Thomas Paine, 1737-1809 At Lewes, Paine was active in local affairs, serving on the town council and establishing a debating club at a local tavern. As a shopkeeper, however, he was a failure. In April 1774, Paine was discharged from his duties for having absented himself from his post without leave. He published the pamphlet The Case of the Officers of Excise (London, 1772), and had devoted too much time campaigning in London on behalf of the excise officers. In London he met Benjamin Franklin who helped him to emigrate to America in October 1774. Paine settled in Philadelphia where he soon began a new career as a journalist. He contributed articles to the Pennsylvania Magazine on a wide range of topics. Thus on January 10, 1776, he published a short pamphlet, Common Sense , which immediately established his reputation as a revolutionary propagandist. Although he had only been in America less than a year, Paine committed himself to the cause of American independence. He attacked monarchical government and the alleged virtues of the British constitution, opposing any reconciliation with Great Britain. He also urged an immediate declaration of independence and the establishment of a republican constitution. Paine was convinced that the American Revolution was a crusade for a superior political system and that America was ultimately unconquerable. He did as much as any writer could to encourage resistance and to inspire faith in the Continental Army. I essays published in the

Thomas Paine "The neglected pioneer of one revolution, the honoured victim of another, brave to the point of folly ..." Thomas Paine was born in Thetford (just north of Cambridge) the son of a Quaker corset maker. His entire career, up to his age 37, had been a succession of failures and frustrations; he had from the beginning experienced extreme poverty, privation, and drudgery. With letters in hand from an American he had met in London, one, Benjamin Franklin, Paine set off for Philadelphia arriving there in December of 1774. Little did Paine know how fortunate he was to have a letter of introduction signed by Ben Franklin; he was soon employed as the editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine . He wrote, condemning it all: of Negro slavery, of the political condition of women, of the lack of copy right laws, of the cruelty to animals, of the custom of dueling, and of war as a means to settle international disputes. These particulars of the human condition meant little to anyone in those years. Another matter, however, was the question of American patriotism. In the spring of 1775 came the battles of Concord, Lexington, and Bunker Hill. "[This country was] set on fire about my ears almost the moment I got into it." All along he was able to spread his views, as he was easily able to do in his journalistic position, that it was common sense to support the colonies in their fight with England and to this effect he put out a small pamphlet, Common Sense : it was to effect a powerful change in the minds of many men, and won, at a critical time, a number of American colonists over to the cause of independence. Within a few months after the appearance of

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) Contributing Editor: Martin Roth Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues Nature and Reason are not abstract principles for Paine. They are not categories through which it is useful to think about things, but dynamic principles that Paine almost literally sees at work in the world. Reason in Common Sense is masculine, a most concrete actor pleading with us to separate from England or forbidding us to have faith in our enemies. Nature is feminine; "she" weeps, and she is unforgiving as part of her deepest nature. Should these agencies be regarded as philosophical principles? As deities? Are they coherent characters? Can they be identified by collecting all their behaviors and their metaphoric qualifications? How do we think about Paine as an author, a writing "I"? One of his works is presented as having been written by an embodied principle of "common sense," and another piece, The Age of Reason , a work on the general truth of religion, opens in an extremely private, confessional mode. But he writes in this way to prove that he could have no private motives for misleading others. What kind of stakes are being waged by writing a work on religious truth just before you die? Is there any distinction for Paine between the private and the public I, the private and the public life? Notice how many statements fold back upon the self: "it is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself" and "my own mind is my own church."

Arraigned for treason, he fled to Paris but was imprisoned for offering the French king asylum in the USA. While incarcerated he wrote The Age of Reason (1793) in which he argued aggressively that Christianity and pluralism were incompatible: . . . to believe that God created a plurality of worlds at least as numerous as what we call stars, renders the Christian system of faith at once little and ridiculous and scatters it in the mind like feathers in the air. The two beliefs cannot be held together in the same mind; and he who thinks that he believes in both has thought but little of either. See Christian doctrines and pluralism var site="s13space1234"

Back to PHL002 Home Page Thomas Paine (1737-1809) Paine was originally from England, from a poor family. He tried several jobs, including the family business of corsetmaking, as well as schoolmaster, preacher, and customs inspector. He was dismissed from this last job on a trumped-up charge of smuggling, after he wrote a pamphlet, The Case of the Officers of Excise; with Remarks on the Qualification of Officers, and on the numerous Evils arising to the Revenue, from the Insufficiency of the present Salary, humbly addressed to the Members of both Houses of Parliament . Shortly after this his wife left him. He was a religious man, and was originally a Quaker. He described himself as a "Deist." He met Benjamin Franklin in London, and emigrated to America in 1774. There he worked as a journalist. He was the editor of Pennsylvania Magazine for 18 months, published in Philadelphia. In 1776, he published Common Sense , a pamphlet calling for independence of America from Britain. It sold over 100,000 copies. He thought that the best form of government was a republican democracy.

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) The Pennsylvania Magazine . Among other things, in 1775 he penned his first denunciation of slavery, and often thought of doing a whole book against it. He became friends with others sharing hi s outlooks, including Joel Barlow and the artist Benjamin Rush. By April 1775 the shooting war with Britain had begun at Lexington. As Paine later wrote to Ben Franklin, "I thought it very hard to have the country set on fire about my ears almost the mo ment I got into it" (Aldridge, 1959, 33). Paine readily embraced the cause of liberty, having long detested the nobilities and monarchies of Europe. While Paine early busied himself with a scheme to hide gunpowder shops in private homes, his more import ant work was his initially anonymous authorship of Common Sense . The first vigorously written disavowal of the authority of the King as well as Parliament in the colonies, it claimed that the colonies had reached maturity and should separat e from the parental country. It appeared in January 1776 and sold nearly a half million copies when the colonies contained but three million people. But although Paine himself paid the L 40 for its publication, the royalties were given to the army to bu y mittens for Patriot soldiers. As the most effective propagandist for the Patriot cause, Paine called himself "Cato" when writing The Forester letters against Loyalists, and then his
