Abstract: Abstract Tom Paine was born in Thetford, Norfolk on 29 January 1737. After following various occupations, Paine emigrated to America in 1774 where he became a journalist in Philadelphia. In the following war with England, Paine actively promoted the American cause and visited France to seek financial support for it. Paine returned to Europe in 1787 spending most of his time in France. There, he became a citizen and was elected to the National Convention but imprisoned during the Terror. Outlawed in England, Paine returned to America in 1802 where he remained until his death in New York City on 8 June 1809.
