Explanation:

Thomas Paine wrote in his "Crisis number 1" how he views the oppressive nature of the colonialist rule of America by the Britishers. In his pamphlet Common Sense, Paine discussed how the tyrannical authority of the British government over her American colonies is like being in hell. They are oppressed beyond imagination, but he claims that "the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph". Such is his belief for the liberty of the American nation from its colonizers' powers that he believes in the freedom of the nation. He even went to the extent of calling this oppressive nature as akin to "hell", illustrating how evil and far-reaching the acts of the Britishers have on the colonies.
