Best Answer

It was written in 1776.

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

This quotation begins the first volume of The Crisis, also known as The American Crisis, a series of sixteen pamphlets written by propagandist extraordinaire Thomas Paine shortly before the Battle of Trenton, which took place on December 26, 1776. They improved morale at a time when it was much needed, when many people were doubtful about the probability of success; some were fearful of committing treason and others even thought that it was blasphemy, because Kings were thought to derive their power directly from God. Paine explained what the issues behind the Revolution were, and how important they were, in words that everyone could understand. His stirring words inspired the Colonials to fight on and even converted some of those who had previously been neutral.

Why was these times are the times that try mens souls said?

Thomas Paine wrote those words in a pamphlet called The Crisis. Paine wrote several pamphlets with that title, but these words were in the first one. The reason was that during the winter George Washington spent at Valley Forge, his troops and the colonists at large began to weary of the war and many wanted to stop it. He mainly wrote it for the troops though, many of whom were on the verge of deserting, leaving the army as their enlistments ran out or just plain mutineering. Paine's work convinced many soldiers and civilians to keep on fighting instead of giving up even though the times were so hard that they did try mens' souls.
