Read the excerpt from the crisis, number i by thomas paine. "i once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as i ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, ‘well! give me peace in my day.’ not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, ‘if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; ’ and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty." which is a central idea of this excerpt?
