The True Interest of America Impartially Stated was written by Rev. Charles Inglis as a response to the publishing of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.
Originally published ’The Deceiver Unmasked; Or, Loyalty and Intrest United: In Answer to a Pamphlet Entitled Common Sense’, Charles Inglis was forced to publish his work a year later under the name ‘The True Intrest of America Impartially Stated’, after members of the Sons of Liberty broke into the printer house containing his copies and destroyed them.
In The True Intrest of America Impartially Stated, Inglis begins by stating that ‘I find no common sense in this pamphlet, but much uncommon frenzy.’ He further called for peaceful reconciliation between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies, and extolled the benefits of ending the mutual antagonism between the two hostile parties.
Inglis accurately predicts that those who have sworn an oath of allegiance to the King would by the rebel government ‘compelled to renounce that allegiance, or abandon all their property in America’.
Charles Inglis staunch defence against the radical democratic, and revolutionary republicanism was summed up with the quote: ‘Limited monarchy is the form of government which is most favourable to liberty - which is best adapted to the genius and temper of Britons; although here and there among us a crack-brained zealot for democracy or absolute monarchy, may be sometimes found.’
