Thomas Paine
Explanation:
Thomas Paine was neither a politician nor a civic leader, but simply a talented writer who passionately argued for the rights of colonists. His "Common Sense," (1776) an engaging pamphlet advocating for the rights of colonists against the tyranny of the British crown, was the most widely read piece of writing in the colonies during the mid 1770s. Its widespread popularity was a major catalyst for the politicians and leaders to organize a revolutionary movement.
