How did Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" pave the way for significant events later in history?

Respuesta :

In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau championed the idea that if a government is not going to improve itself, then it is the duty of the people to refuse to support it. This paved the way for non-violent protests, such as those led by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Answer:

-Thoreau’s disapproval of the government

-The essay’s failure to stop slavery or the government’s desire to expand westward

-The idea of disobeying an unjust law

-The impact of Thoreau’s essay on the civil rights movement, including the bus boycott, Rosa Parks, the Greensboro sit-in, the Freedom Riders, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
