When Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense, the public in the United States argued about whether the United States should become independent from Great Britain with one faction believing they should be independent, a second believing they should stay dependent on Great Britain and a third being undecided.
Paine was arrested and imprisoned in December 1793. Thomas Paine wrote the second part of Rights of Man on a desk in Thomas 'Clio' Rickman 's house, with whom he was staying in 1792 before he fled to France. This desk is currently on display in the People's History Museum in Manchester.
