Tom Paine's War: Thomas Paine in the American Revolution - Liberty 250® Lecture

At Fraunces Tavern Museum

Whitehall

Where Washington bid his officers farewell, historian Jack Kelly unpacks how an English immigrant's pen saved the Revolution. Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" convinced colonists to revolt, and his "American Crisis" essays kept Washington's army from desertion. Learn why this towering figure fell from grace, and why his words still echo today.
