Still perhaps the best-selling American work of literature, #CommonSense by #ThomasPaine was first published #ThisDayInHistory in 1776. The English-born #Enlightenment #deist presented an argument for an emergent American #NationalIdentity as distinct from that of Great Britain.

Groundbreaking #physicist and #mathematician #IsaacNewton was born on #ThisDayInHistory in 1643 (according to the Gregorian/NS calendar). A strange person to modern eyes, #Newton was a #NonTrinitarian Christian with a #Deist God, who believed in #alchemy and #BiblicalProphecy.
