The history of America is rich with examples of people who were true to their own convictions instead of behaving like everyone else. Many of these people actually changed society for the better. Henry David Thoreau was one such person
Throughout his lifetime, Henry David Thoreau thought for himself and acted upon his own opinions. In the years leading up to the Civil War, he was a vocal opponent against slavery. To protest slavery and the government that allowed it, Thoreau refused to pay his federal taxes. Thoreau was thrown in jail for this refusal. While there, he wrote an essay called Civil Disobedience, encouraging people to stand up for their beliefs and break laws that were unjust.
