"The Crisis" (The American Crisis) was a series of 16 pamphlets that sought to inspire the Americans to throw off the yoke of English rule. The message was that God is on the side of men who fight to be free, and that soldiers should be proud to serve their country and their countrymen. Paine dismissed the British as tyrants who sought to control the lives of other men, and praised those who would break that immoral oppression. The first pamphlet (1776) began "These are the times that try men's souls." It also said "Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
The American Revolution was a time that truly tried men's souls. This was due to the harsh conditions that the colonial army and militias faced. They also faced overwhelming British troops, and were seriously outnumbered at every turn. Still, the colonials pressed on until they achieved independence for themselves and their fellow countrymen.
It blamed the suffering of the people on the British King, George 3. There for the people started to rebel against the British king and entered into the independent movement or the desire to be free of Britain.
It was a document anonymously published and written. It was to help persuade the colonists to break away from Britain. It is a series of pamphlets written by Thomas Paine. I have attached a link with the documents.
