[1] Thomas Paine believed that reconciliation with Britain was no longer possible.
Thomas Paine didn’t agree with the fact that Great Britain has always benefited the colonies and will ever benefit them in the future. He opposes the fact that it will provide security and protection to the colonized countries. Paine was of the opinion that independence and freedom is a must for the well being of America and for its people. He wanted to abolish British rule and wanted support from his people. He calls his people to be moving on a misguided path and asks them to move on the path to get freedom.
