Paine and Jefferson in the Age of Revolutions: Jeffersonian America Explored

The Age of Revolutions was a tumultuous period in world history that saw the birth of the United States of America, the French Revolution, and a host of other upheavals. At the heart of these events were two towering figures: Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson.

Paine was a British-born radical who became a leading advocate for American independence. His pamphlet Common Sense, published in 1776, was a clarion call for revolution and helped to galvanize support for the American cause. Jefferson was a Virginian planter and statesman who served as the third President of the United States. He was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, which set forth the principles upon which the new nation was founded.
