Club Meeting 63 - Common Sense

from Beyond the PhIrst Page · host Phebe, Philip and Isaac Cornell

To kick off Chapter 3 the Beyond the PhIrst Page read a staple in American Revolution Literature, “Common Sense” by Thomas Paine. They discuss what each of them thought was the most compelling argument that Paine made for America to separate from Great Britain and how the text can be applied to America today. This chapter was inspired by House of Speakeasy’s “We The People Tour” where our friend Don is going to be driving the bookmobile to the 13 original colonies handing out free texts to celebrate the 250th birthday of America.
