Background Information
Thomas Paine wrote influential pamphlets during the American Revolution, which have inspired revolutionaries ever since. The Declaration of Independence was promulgated by the Second Continental Congress and declared independence for the 13 colonies from Britain. The Revolutionary War is generally dated from the Battle of Concord and Lexington, ending with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
