“. . . Every thing that is right or reasonable pleads

for separation. The blood of the slain, the
weeping voice of nature cries, ’TIS TIME TO
PART. . . .”
— Thomas Paine, Common Sense
In this quotation, Thomas Paine is trying to
convince the colonists to
(1) accept the Proclamation of 1763
(2) break a treaty with Spain
(3) declare their independence from England
(4) dissolve their alliance with France
