Although Thomas Jefferson eloquently expressed America’s desire for independence, Thomas Paine was the one who first popularized the idea of breaking from the British Empire in his 1776 pamphlet Common Sense. According to the Lloyd Sealy Library, this made him the Father of The American Revolution, and similar arguments would also make him an influential figure in the French Revolution.
