The Most Dangerous Words Ever Printed in America - January 10, 1776
from The Daily History Chronicle · host Richard G Backus
On January 10, 1776, Thomas Paine published a 47-page pamphlet that sold 500,000 copies and transformed American independence from a radical idea into "common sense." It was brilliant political philosophy. It was also masterful propaganda. Both things are true and that tension still shapes how we argue about politics today.
