Thomas Paine and Common Sense

I found a little cool fact about Common Sense.
In class we were talking about how thomas was really brilliant and also a bit prideful and other things.
we commented on what he named his pamphlets, "Common Sense", it sounds really stuck up but i found that he had actually named it plain truth which is bold too. but his friend Benjamin Rush suggested the name Common Sense to Thomas and that's what he went for.

Yay Lillian!! Good job for finding the facts. I would have kept on thinking that he was really stuck up if you didn't find that out.
