Yes,
I think I would be friend with this person because he made such a difference in America. He even made up the name, United States Of America. He was an inspiration on everyone while he was alive. He always did good things. Thomas Paine was many things when he was alive like a soldier, writer, and much more. I think anyone would want to be his friend if he was still living because he did so much for America.
