Question

What type of evidence is used in this excerpt from "The Crisis, No.1" by Thomas Paine?

I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, "Well! give me peace in my day." Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace."

Answer 2

Anecdotal evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anecdotal evidence is information obtained from a subjective report, an observation, or some kind of example that may or may not be reliable. In addition, anecdotal evidence is not scientifically valid and can not be generalized to a larger group or other conditions elsewhere. Based on this concept, we can conclude that the above text is anecdotal evidence.
