Civil Disobedience & Henry David Thoreau

The Civil Disobedience act stated that everyone basically didn't have to follow law they didn't think were fair, but they would have to do so peacefully.

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours...if you have built castles in the air, your work need to be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."-Henry David Thoreau
   ---- Henry David Thoreau cared a lot about doing what he believed. He wrote a lot about The Civil Disobedience, and basically started the whole Civil Disobedience movements.
