Henry David Thoreau as he writes in his essay "Civil Disobedience"
Henry David Thoreau.
The essay was named "Civil Disobedience" and it was written by Henry David Thoreau, a prominent transcendentalist, to protest the Mexican-American War and slavery.
Thoreau's actions in Walden reflect an attitude of individualism and nonconformity towards society. He advocates for self-reliance, simplicity, and a life in tune with nature, challenging the materialistic and consumer-driven values of his time. Thoreau seeks to live intentionally and authentically, emphasizing the importance of personal freedom and introspection.

The Mexican-American War :)
Thoreau was against the Mexican War (he didn't want further expansion of slave states) so he is bitter towards the government. Even if it's not the matter of the Mexican War, Thoreau doesn't like the government, like other Trensendentalists, he doesn't like powerful government controlling peope's lives.
