To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He defended the rights of conscience against the bloody bigotry of his time. This made him "vulgar and low. " When royalty could not answer Paine's arguments in the "Rights of Man, " he was threatened with death, and outlawed from the country he was offering freedom. Paine's sympathy for mankind had made kings his foes, his mercy cost him his liberty, his generosity kept him 17 in poverty, his charity made him enemies, and by intel- lectual honesty he lost his friends. Federalist judges of el...ection, for whose liberty he had fought, denied him the right to vote, because he was a citizen of France; im- prisoned in France because he was not a citizen of France; maligned because he was brave; shunned be- cause he was honest ; hated by those to whom he had de- voted his whole existence; denied a burial place in the soil he helped make free by the church which first taught him the lesson of humanity; thus ended the life of Thomas Paine. The world is growing better, more just and more hos- pitable.
