Answer:
The pamphlet drew attention to the cause of American Independence.
Explanation:
Thomas Paine (Thetford, Norfolk, England, 9 February 1737 - New York, June 8, 1809) was a British politician as well as a pamphleteer, revolutionary, inventor, intellectual and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. He lived in England until he was 37, when he immigrated to the British colonies in America in time to participate in the American Revolution. His major contributions were the widely read Common Sense (1776), advocating American colonial independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis (1776-1783), a series of revolutionary pamphlets.
His pamphlet opened the minds of Americans, provoking the quest for independence.
