Thomas Paine wrote the "American Crisis", a collection of articles written during the American Revolutionary War.  

Paine wrote “Common Sense” written in 1776, a famous pamphlet supporting the Independence from England. The essays he wrote refers to his support for a government just for America. History says that General Washington found the first essay so inspiring that he ordered that it be read to the army before going to battle.
