Common Sense Audiobook (free download)

In 1775 the American colonies were a hotbed of political discord. Many of the British policies, specifically taxes, had caused American colonial leaders to consider the unthinkable: declaring independence from the British Empire and its King George. One such leader, Thomas Paine, wrote "Common Sense": a pamphlet that explained the advantages of immediate and complete independence. In 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed, "Common Sense" became a national sensation and has remained an important part of American history.
