Paine utilized the rhetorical devices and his writing style and used it to his benefit by making people realize that getting freedom was the best thing to do. He was able to persuade the citizens that the best thing for America was to break away from Britain. Paine’s tone of voice was another reason why people were willing to follow him in his causes. Something that can be taken from this is that if “The Crisis No. 1” did not connect to the audience emotionally then America wouldn’t have had the revolution against Britain.
