Quote #4
Hither have they fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster; and it is so far true of England, that the same tyranny which drove the first immigrants from home, pursues their descendants still. (3.11)
The first people who emigrated to America are those who have sought shelter from their oppressive homelands. And that's exactly why America needs to make good on its promise and become a place of total freedom. Unfortunately, the powers-that-be in England still tend to clamp down on freedom from halfway across the world.
Quote #5
And as [the king] hath shewn himself such an inveterate enemy to liberty, and discovered such a thirst for arbitrary power. (3.34)
It's one thing to have a king; it's another to have a king who's especially hateful toward his people's freedom. Unfortunately, the people of Thomas Paine's time have gotten stuck with a really mean king who'll go out of his way to squash freedom whenever he can.
Quote #6
But the most powerful of all arguments, is, that nothing but independence, i.e. a continental form of government, can keep the peace of the continent and preserve it inviolate from civil wars. (3.38)
Freedom isn't just necessary to protect the rights of individuals. It's necessary in order to keep the people of a country satisfied with their political system. If people don't feel free, they'll eventually fall into civil war. And Paine would much rather see the Americans fight the British than see them fighting one another.
