What did paine say were some of the “material injuries” the colonies had sustained due to their dependence on great britain? what are the strengths and weaknesses in his argument?

At the point when Thomas Paine alludes to material wounds in Common Sense, he is alluding to how the British have limited the settlers from building up their own particular economy. He demonstrated that Great Britain set up the provinces, not for the advantage of the homesteaders, but rather for the advantage of the British. He trusted that Great Britain was limiting the homesteaders financially.
