Read the following passage from Thomas Paine’s The Crisis (1776) carefully before you
choose your answers.

THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in
this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the
love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have
this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we
obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so
celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce
her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES
WHATSOEVER” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a
thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can
belong only to God….

I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and
still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them
unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the
calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much
of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and
given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of
Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a
house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he….

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;” and this single reflection, well
applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty. Not a place upon earth might be so happy as
America. Her situation is remote from all the wrangling world, and she has nothing to do but to
trade with them. A man can distinguish himself between temper and principle, and I am as
confident, as I am that God governs the world, that America will never be happy till she gets
clear of foreign dominion. Wars, without ceasing, will break out till that period arrives, and the
continent must in the end be conqueror; for though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease
to shine, the coal can never expire.

The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who
shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love
the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by

https://eicollege.instructure.com/courses/1017/quizzes/5120/take#

reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose
conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My own line of
reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world,
so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but
if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me,
or those that are in it, and to “bind me in all cases whatsoever” to his absolute will, am I to
suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my
countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of
them? If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause
be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
