  • The American Crisis, or simply The Crisis, is a pamphlet series by eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosopher and author Thomas Paine, originally published from 1776 to 1783 during the American Revolution. Thirteen numbered pamphlets were published between 1776 and 1777, with three additional pamphlets released between 1777 and 1783. The first of the pamphlets was published in The Pennsylvania Journal on December 19, 1776. Paine signed the pamphlets with the pseudonym, "Common Sense". The pamphlets were contemporaneous with early parts of the American Revolution, when colonists needed inspiring works. The American Crisis series was used to "recharge the revolutionary cause." Paine, like many other politicians and scholars, knew that the colonists were not going to support the American Revolutionary War without proper reason to do so. Written in a language that the common person could understand, they represented Paine's liberal philosophy. Paine also used references to God, saying that a war against Great Britain would be a war with the support of God. Paine's writings bolstered the morale of the American colonists, appealed to the British people's consideration of the war, clarified the issues at stake in the war, and denounced the advocates of a negotiated peace. The first volume famously begins: "These are the times that try men's souls." (en)
  • The American Crisis ou (em português: A Crise Americana, ou simplesmente A Crise), é uma série de panfletos do filósofo e autor do Iluminismo do século XVIII Thomas Paine, originalmente publicado de 1776 a 1783 durante a Revolução Americana. Treze panfletos numerados foram publicados entre 1776 e 1777, com três panfletos adicionais lançados entre 1777 e 1783. O primeiro dos panfletos foi publicado no The Pennsylvania Journal em 19 de dezembro de 1776. Paine assinou os panfletos com o pseudônimo de "Senso Comum". Os panfletos eram contemporâneos das primeiras partes da Revolução Americana, quando os colonos precisavam de obras inspiradoras. A série American Crisis foi usada para "recarregar a causa revolucionária". Paine, como muitos outros políticos e acadêmicos, sabia que os colonos não iriam apoiar a Guerra Revolucionária Americana sem a devida razão para fazê-lo. Escritos em uma linguagem que a pessoa comum pudesse entender, eles representavam a filosofia liberal de Paine. Paine também usou referências a Deus, dizendo que uma guerra contra a Grã-Bretanha seria uma guerra com o apoio de Deus. Os escritos de Paine reforçaram o moral dos colonos americanos, apelaram à consideração do povo britânico sobre a guerra, esclareceram as questões em jogo na guerra e denunciaram os defensores de uma paz negociada. O primeiro volume começa famosamente: "Estes são os tempos que provam as almas dos homens". (pt)
