Thomas Paine wrote it during the Revolutinary War. The soliders were getting ready to go home. They weren't going to get paid for reenlist as their was no money to pay them. On top of that it was winter and it was about the worst of times for the soliders. He knew that they needed those soliders. That they were starting to win, so he was trying to make the soliders feel guilty. As we know it worked.
