Mark Hamilton, speaking in a YouTube video, argues that although the Revolutionary War began in 1775 with colonists seeking better peacetime terms, Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense (January 1776) delivered a decisive shift toward independence — described as a "phantom punch." Hamilton then analogizes that "The 12 visions" (or "Twelve Visions Party") functions as a similar "phantom punch."
