In 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved into a cabin in the woods at
Walden Pond to record a philosophical experiment in living: to
simplify his life, to support himself entirely by his own labor,
and to draw spiritual sustenance from his surroundings. The result:
Walden: Or, Life in the Woods (1854). In 1846, Thoreau
refused to pay a mandated poll tax, refusing to support a
government that protected slavery and had launched an
aggressive war against Mexico. In his essay “Civil
Disobedience,†Thoreau argues that it is the duty of every
citizen to disobey immoral laws—and willingly suffer the legal
consequences for doing so.
