Presentation transcript:

THOMAS PAINE   Came to US from London in 1774.

 With a letter of intro from Benjamin Franklin, began career as a journalist.

THOMAS PAINE In 1776, he published Common Sense, in which he argued that Americans must fight for independence.

 The pamphlet created a mood for revolution; Paine enlisted soon after.

 His series of essays, The American Crisis, were designed to build morale.

“We’re all British” “Until today…”

PAMPHLET

 An unbound booklet, without cover or binding;  An important tool of political protest.

 Open your books to page 144 or 160;  Have a dictionary, or use a phone – BUT I’LL BE WATCHING!  Watch how I read the first paragraph  Let’s all do the second  Now you’re on your own!

LETTER VS EPISTLE  LETTER = PRIVATE  EPISTLE = PUBLIC

LETTER  Adams is telling her daughter what it was like to live in an unfinished White House. If she knew her letter would become public, she probably would have written the letter differently.

POINTS TO PONDER  Washington, D.C. was rural (that’s country, y’all!)  Adams was from Boston, one of the oldest and most established cities in the Colonies. (How do you think she felt??)  Milton was an area of Boston where Adams lived;  She begins the letter by telling her daughter of the journey – this ain’t the Dan Ryan people!!!

DE CREVECOEUR  Sailed to London and published Letters From an American Farmer in 1782;  Returned to US in 1783 to find his farm burned and wife killed;
