Yes, Henry David Thoreau believed in civil disobedience as a form of protest against unjust laws and government actions. He argued that individuals have a moral duty to resist laws that they believe are unjust, even if it means breaking those laws. Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience" inspired many activists and leaders in the Civil Rights Movement.
