CODEX 8.2 The American Crisis by Thomas Paine
History of North America 2 juin 2026 12 min
Résumé
Le texte examine les raisons pour lesquelles l'ennemi a abandonné les provinces du Nouveau-Brunswick et s'est concentré sur les colonies du milieu. Thomas Paine souligne que les provinces du Nouveau-Brunswick ne sont pas peuplées de traîtres et que les milices locales sont courageuses. Il critique fermement les traîtres qui, bien qu'ils soient nombreux, ne se battent pas. Paine affirme que ces traîtres sont des lâches et que leur influence est nuisible à la cause américaine. Il exhorte les citoyens à se mobiliser et à soutenir les soldats plutôt que de rester inactifs. Il souligne également que l'ennemi utilise des promesses et des menaces pour tenter d'obtenir la reddition des armes, mais Paine est convaincu que la résistance et la persévérance mèneront à une issue glorieuse pour les Américains.

A series of 16 influential political pamphlets published between 1776 and 1783 during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) titled The American Crisis, or simply The Crisis, by eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosopher and author Thomas Paine — an Englishman living in the colonies who signed his essays anonymously as "Common Sense," the title of his earlier influential work. Each essay, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace.
The essays were gathered into one volume in 1882, showcasing the iconic opening line: "These are the times that try men's souls.
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."
