Answer
Brief Explanations:
The text is from Common Sense by Thomas Paine, which was a pamphlet advocating for American independence from Britain. The passage calls on those who love mankind to stand against oppression (implied as British rule). The author's purpose is to persuade people to take action (revolt against Britain) as seen from the passionate language like "stand forth!" and the description of freedom being hunted and the need to prepare an asylum (a place of safety, which in the context of the colonies' fight for independence, would be a free nation away from British tyranny).
Answer:
For the topic: the people's right to revolt against Britain. For the author's purpose: to persuade.
