His Thoreau’s essay he goes against talking about how the reformation within a government truly is not that effective. He presents his own knowledge in a first point of view about the his own experience during the time he was jail for refusing to pay his taxes. Thoreau mentions that if a government is not just and has unjust policies, then the people have the right to not obey the policies. If then the government is going against such actions and are sending the citizens to jails. The people should accept that judgement and acknowledge to not go against such unjust government laws and regulations.
Civil Disobedience also is preffered to Thoreau as a way to go agaist slavery being abolished. He states a great example of such issue by talking about the Mexican War which thought to be something unjust, the war took place mainly to establish a new ground for slavery.
Thoreau had influenced many people all over the world,including Mohandas K. Gandhi which was one of the great leaders for India. Gandhi used Thoreau’s ideas of unjust government laws to establish civil rights for immigrants that migrated from India to South Africa. His use of the idea,and the ideas from Thoearu connects him to Martin Luther King Jr an American civil rights activist who anted to establish civil rights for African Americans during the early 1960s. These examples of great leaders show how Thoreau had a great impact with his ideas of Civil Disobedience and had a great impact on achieving civil rights for immigrants and slavery.
