Pre-revolutionary colonists weren't just one, big happy family. There were class issues as wealthy landowners, like some of the Founding Fathers, were often given unfair advantages over the landless or poor farmers in the colonies. Perhaps the single biggest unifying force which was able to unite both rich and poor, landowner and landless tenant alike was Thomas Paine's "Common Sense". It made the case for revolution in a language that was simple yet eloquent and presented a persuasive argument that was easily understood by any class.
