A series of political essays written during the American Revolutionary War, articulating the case for perseverance, independence, and national purpose.

The American Crisis comprises a sequence of pamphlets written by Thomas Paine between 1776 and 1783, at critical moments during the struggle for American independence. Opening with the well-known line, These are the times that try men's souls, the essays were intended to sustain morale among soldiers and civilians alike, offering both argument and exhortation in support of the revolutionary cause. They were read aloud to troops and circulated widely, contributing to the ideological cohesion of the emerging nation.
