Paine and the New Nation
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The demise of the popular movement for price controls in 1780 inaugurated one of the most controversial and puzzling periods of Paine’s career. During the 1770s, he had been associated with the “democratic party in Philadelphia” in the struggle for independence and the Pennsylvania Constitution. Now he found himself increasingly at odds with some of his erstwhile allies, while appearing to find his former political enemies congenial. Courted by men of wealth and political standing, he seemed closer in outlook to the merchant elite of Philadelphia.
