Norfolk on January 29, 1737.Paine was unable to accept this occupation.Lincolnshire, followed by a stint as a school teacher in London, before he again settled
down in 1768 as an excise officer in Lewes in East Sussex.Paine much in the way of happiness.He was legally separated
from his second wife in 1774, just as he was about to embark for the American colonies.At Lewes, Paine was active in local affairs, serving on the town council
and establishing a debating club at a local tavern.As a shopkeeper, however, he was a
failure.In April 1774, Paine was discharged from his duties for having absented himself
from his post without leave.Excise (London, 1772), and had devoted too much time campaigning in London on behalf
of the excise officers.Paine settled in Philadelphia where he soon began a new career as a
journalist.He contributed articles to the Pennsylvania Magazine on a wide range
of topics.Thus on January 10, 1776, he published a short pamphlet, Common Sense,
which immediately established his reputation as a revolutionary propagandist.America less than a year, Paine committed himself to the cause of
American independence.He did as much as
any writer could to encourage resistance and to inspire faith in the Continental Army.Often tactless, Paine provoked considerable controversy.New York proved more generous and gave him a confiscated Loyalist farm at New
Rochelle.After American independence had been won, Paine played no part in the
establishment of the new republic.Instead, he busied himself trying to invent a smokeless
candle and devising an iron bridge.Restless because he was no longer at the center of affairs, Paine left for
Europe in 1787.Although he spent much of his time trying to find financial support for his iron bridge,
he eventually resumed work as a revolutionary propagandist in the 1790s.French Revolution inspired Paine to write his most influential work, the
Rights of Man (Part I in 1791, Part II in 1792).In Part I, Paine urged political
rights for all men because of their natural equality in the sight of God.Only a democratic republic could be trusted to protect the
equal political rights of all men.Part II was even more radical for Paine argued for a
whole program of social legislation to deal with the shocking condition of the poor.Paine immediately immersed himself in French affairs for the next ten
years although he still hoped to see a revolution in Britain.British radicals to call a national
convention to establish a republican form of government.In August 1792, Paine was made a French citizen and a month later was
elected to the National Convention.Since he did not speak French, and had to have his
speeches read for him, Paine did not make much of an impact on the Convention.In January 1793, he alienated many extremists by opposing the execution of Louis
XVI.From December 28, 1793, until November 4, 1794, he was incarcerated in Luxembourg prison
until the intercession of the new American minister, James Monroe, secured his release.God, condemned many of the Old Testament stories as immoral and claimed that the
Gospels were marred by discrepancies.Paine's last years were marked by poverty, poor health and alcoholism.New York on June 8, 1809, he was virtually an outcast.Paine never established a political society or organization and was not
responsible for a single reforming measure.His achievements were all with his pen so it
is difficult to accurately assess his influence.Paine's political influence was greatest in England.Since government is a necessary evil that men
accepted as a means of protecting their natural rights (cf.Paine argued rationally that all men had an equal claim to political rights
and that government must rest on the ultimate sovereignty of the people.
